On Episcopal rings (Wikipedia), this may offer a clue: As the pontifical ring had to be worn on occasion over the glove, it is a common thing to find medieval specimens large in size and proportionately heavy in execution. The inconvenience of the looseness thus resulting was often met by placing another smaller ring just above it as a keeper.[7] As the pictures of themedieval and Renaissance periods show, it was formerly quite usual for bishops to wear other rings along with the episcopal ring; indeed the existing Caeremoniale episcoporum (Book II, viii, nn. 10-11) assumes that this is still likely to be the case.
