Here is what I know about these things:

1. The ring of adornment
	As far as I can tell, it makes you look pretty. No more, no less.
	Monsters do not seem to be swayed by beauty, either.

2. The uses for the wand of invisibility
	It makes the monster you zap invisible. Anyone for an invisible dragon?

3. The ring of protection
	This increases the protective power of your armor. A person with +5
	plate (armor class 12 in 5.3) and a ring of +2 protection has an
	effective armor class of 14, which is nice for beating up on just
	about anything.

4. The ring of dexterity
	This increases the chance of your weapon hitting something you
	swing at. A +3,+3 two handed sword with a ring of dexterity of +2
	gives you an effective +5,+3 weapon (nice thing to have with +14
	armor).

5. The ring of increase damage
	This increases the damage of your weapon. Assuming the same sword,
	a +2 ring of increase damage gives you a +3,+5 weapon.
