The Ring of Angels
A powerful ring of the Archangels of Rothos
The Ring of Angels is an ancient artifact that appeared at the same time Angels and Demons appeared, along with it's infernal counterpart: the Ring of Demons.
The Ring of Angels is bestowed upon each Archangel of Rothos during the ceremony that raises them to the rank of Archangel.
The Ring of Angels is known to have some sort of extremely powerful magic attached to it, but the way of activating the magic - and even what the magic does - has been lost knowledge for many millenium.
The Ring of Angels is made of a dark gray metal known to be an alloy of iron and nickel, but the alloy is unable to be reproduced by any metalsmith in Rothos. It has a periwinkle-colored, pear-cut gemstone set on the top of the ring.
This ring is normally worn on a fine, platinum spiga chain around the neck of the Archangel. By Rothos' laws, the Archangel is not permitted to grant anyone but themselves direct access to the Ring of Angels.
Mechanics & Inner Workings
Not much is known about the inner workings of the Ring of Angels, but it is known that the Ring contains vast amounts of extremely powerful magic concentrated on the periwinkle-colored, pear-cut gemstone at the top of the ring.
Manufacturing process
The manufacturing process used to create the Ring of Angels is a complete mystery to all but the Gods themselves.
Significance
The Ring of Angels is the marker of the Rank of Archangel. It is also thought to be a representation of the entire race of Angels.
Very little is known about the usage of the Ring of Angels, but it is known to have powerful magic like nothing the examiners had ever seen before attached to it. Not a single soul knows how to activate the magic of the Ring of Angels.

A very interesting artifact! Since it's marked as unique does that mean one has fallen into mortal hands? With so much unknown about it, I'd be interested to hear what some of the rumours are as to its powers or how it works.
Unique means that there's only one in existence. But, as the Angels in my story are, in fact, mortal, though very long-lived, the answer to that could be "yes". I have secrets on what it does and how it works, but I will try to come up with some rumors soon
