Shadow Gem Rings
From AOWiki
Shadow Gems are neat little gem stones that you find in the Shadowlands. What is so cool about them is that you can make jewelry out of them that gives small buffs to certain stats. The degree that the gemed ring buffs you is dependent on the QL of the ring and the type of metal used to make the ring: Silver being the worst and Platinum being the best. These rings are also completely unlocked so anybody, even froobs, can use them to buff themselves.
It should also be noted that shadow gems behave differently in the AO economy than RK gems. When you cut and polish a Shadow gem it actualy loses value, and it loses even more value when you place it in a ring. So if you are going to sell Shadow Gems than simply sell them as you find them, or sell the rings to other players (especialy froobs) as buffing items.

[edit] Tradeskill Process
The combination of items in Anarchy Online works as follows:
Open the tradeskill window (Ctrl-t). Here you can place the two items you want to combine in the left and middle part. The resulting Item will be shown in the right area. Missing skills, or non possible combinations will be shown below. A detailed look on the resulting item is possible with a simple shift-left-click on it. It is recommended to have free inventory space before combining items, else the item will end in the overflow window.
This example shows the combination between thePlatinum Ring and an Almandine Gem.
ALl other rings can be build on the same way.

| + | 
| = | 
| Skills: ??? |
| Perfectly Cut Almandine | Platinum Filigree Ring | Platinum Filigree Ring set with a Perfectly Cut Almandine | ? |
Even if the skills you get from each ring is very small they can be used to twink low level chars between lvl 1 - ~20 really good.
The good thing about this rings is that they don't have an equip requirement.
