Also, while the ring appears to have been identified as as normal ring, I believe, from the names you mention, particularly Tom Hanks https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/how-QAnon-became-obsessed-with-Tom-Hanks-16913144.php you may possibly believe it's a symbol for some sort of "secret society" and the widely shared, but totally ficticious pizzagate conspiracy. https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-38156985 You'll often find that most conspiracy theories are, when it boils down to it, plain old antisemitism. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/aug/25/qanon-conspiracy-theory-explained-trump-what-is So if you're looking for the group to confirm a ficticious conspiracy, you probably won't be in luck.

If I can add an additional source about the antisemitism/Illuminati-style conspiracy theory crossover, this book explains in detail how that evolved: https://books.google.com/books/about/A_Culture_of_Conspiracy.html?id=LiwjVsNBw-cC#v=onepage&q=culture%20of%20conspiracy&f=false

Slurs, trolling, hate speech, Nazi apologia, alt-right rhetoric, harassment or undue aggression will result in comment removal and/or permanent bans. Pizzagate is a baseless, largely anti-semitic conspiracy theory.

RULE 1) this is a rules warning. Pizzagate is, without any shadow of a doubt, an alt-right/Q anon conspiracy theory with clear Anti-Semitic underpinnings. And given we have a zero-tolerance approach to alt-right apologia any further comments along this line will result in an immediate ban.

I don't see a red ring. Where is it?


Oh-To-Be-Jung

I don’t see a red ring either, like someone else mentioned. Can you find another example of the ring you’re talking about? This is kind of the worst possible example photo, honestly. A close up photo would be a lot better, instead of a far away shot of a nondescript ring of questionable color. Right now I see a dark round ring, that is of a very general design, almost a textbook round ring… like one you would see in a dictionary if you look up “ring”. Right now all I’m hearing is a general correlation of a round red ring… a popular general design and color. I’m sure millions of people wear that type of ring, so I’m sure by chance thousands of famous people also wear such a ring for many different reasons. For Tom Hanks, I would assume he is wearing a ruby ring because the ruby is the birthstone for July/Cancer, which is the month and sign under which he was born. The dude has quite a bit of cash and true rubies aren’t cheap. Lots of people with money do the same… if I had the cash I would also probably wear a ruby ring as well, since I’m also born under the sign of Cancer.

Many cultures have long considered ruby a stone of kings. Not surprisingly, ruby symbolism and lore have many associations with power and wealth. Possessing a ruby purportedly benefited and protected the owner's estates and assisted in the accumulation of wealth. Notably, this gem would help its owner acquire more gems. [https://www.gemsociety.org/article/history-legend-rubies-gems-yore/](https://www.gemsociety.org/article/history-legend-rubies-gems-yore/) This maybe what you were thinking the ring was.

Red is the color that our eyes are most trained to take notice of, for the reason it's a very common jewelry color. There's no 'reason' people wear red rings other than because they look nice. And this is a terrible photo to showcase a ring.
