The bishop, named by the pope in the Catholic tradition or by the Archbishop in the Anglican tradition, is privileged to wear the ring that is awarded to him/her.  He or she is then free to obtain and wear their own episcopal rings.  The style of the episcopal ring has almost always been very large, gold but sometimes silver and often includes a set stone.

​

Aside from the rings a bishop purchases or is given by others, his or her rings belong to the Church; he or she will have inherited the previous bishop's ring collection, which is held in trust. While all hierarchs are accorded the honour of being buried wearing a ring, all rings belonging to the Church, will be returned to the Church upon the retirement or death of any hierarch.
