I do like the elaborate ones. They'd be terrific for artefacts.

We have only five unrand rings, and none of elaborate ones in your submission strike me as fitting replacements (even for that too-ugly-to-live Ring of Vitality I drawn myself).

So my suggestion is: let's split these into two pools, simple and elaborate, and put the latter for randarts only. Whenever one would think of a fitting fixedart, it's no problem to withdraw one of tiles from randart rotation.

All already have a tile, of various quality (somehow not surprising rings made by Denzi or whoever are better than ones by me).

Full descs are in dat/descript/unrand.txt, parts that mention their appearance are:

the ring of Robustness {AC+8}
"a plain steel ring"

the ring of Shadows {+Inv rN+ EV+4 Acc-4 SInv Stlth++}
"a black ring"

the ring of Shaolin {EV+8}
"an unadorned jade ring"

the ring of Vitality {Regen HP+15}

the ring of the Mage {Wiz MR Int+3}
"an enchanted saphire, inset into a ring"

a ring of the Octopus King

Rings of Vitality and Octopus King _had_ descriptions ("an amethyst ring with an ankh", "a coral ring") but these are no more since fixedarts start identified. Of course, no description is set in stone -- editing a text file is easier than drawing a tile.

You probably want to look at existing tiles before messing with them, too. Also, roctavian's proposed tiles for octopus rings are in 0005198; at a time it was decided to have all eight to look the same, mostly because their exact properties are supposed to be indistinguishable until you actually put it on.

How about Anvil for the ring of Robustness?
And the bottom rightmost one for ring of Shadows?
The Eye may work for vitality... Or the one with the flower.

These are in -- they look great. I edited a few slightly to match (rings in game match their descriptions, and none of yours look like they're "a glass ring," for instance). The stranger and more ornate ones are used for randarts.

The tiles for the Ring of the Octopus King, Ring of Shadows, and Ring of Vitality remain untouched. If you make those, feel free to reopen this. If not, I'll probably make them myself when I get a chance.

Do you think it's a bad idea?
