-One important quality of jewellery is that rings can be changed very quickly. It only requires 1 turn to remove a ring and equip another (specifically, 0.5 turns for each individual action). However, take note that amulets take as long to remove and equip as armor. They both require 10 turns to swap (or 5 turns each for removal and equip), making amulets far less versatile than rings.

 It is wise to keep extra rings in your inventory for situational encounters, such as a [[ring of resist corrosion]] for a monster with [[acid]]ic attacks, or a ring that offers an elemental resistance versus a specific monster.
