Did Odin Wear a Ring?

Odin, the chief god in Norse mythology, is said to wear a magical ring named Draupnir. According to the myth, Draupnir is created by the dwarf Brokkr, along with other magical items such as Mjolnir (Thor's hammer) and Gungnir (Odin's spear).

Draupnir is described as a golden ring that had the power to create eight identical copies of itself every ninth night, for a total of nine rings. Odin would often use Draupnir to make peace between warring parties by giving away one of the duplicated rings as a symbol of his goodwill. The ring is also believed to possess powerful magic and is highly valued by the gods.
