Wedding Band

As it says in the title, I'm looking for a wedding band.
99% of my characters are g8/g8.1 and I cannot find a basic wedding band or any jewelry that even approximates it well. Maybe I've missed something.
I'm not looking for anything fancy, I just want a gold/silver/platinum band that goes around the ring fingers of left hands for both male and female characters.
Any product suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

The closest thing I can think of is Unisex Jewelry for Genesis 8 Male(s) & Female(s) | Daz 3D
You may have to parent to finger bones, rather than simply fit the rings, but as you note, there is not a lot else out there.
Use a Torus primitive, flaten it a bit with a dFormer, and use one of the supplied smaple shjaders 9for iray) to make it gold or silver (I'm not sure if there is a platinum) then position it - if you parent it to the appropriate ring finger bone with Parent In Place off it should snap into plae and align, making it fairly easy to get the final placement.

IDK. USD 25 seems a lot for one ring.
Yeah, that's a bit steep. And I don't know Hum3d.
But yeah, not a lot out there. I might have to actually just try making my own. Now begins a new chapter of screaming at my PC in impotent frustration.
The engagement ring from this set might work: https://www.daz3d.com/valentines-kit-for-genesis-3--8 or you could autofit this one and apply some iray settings: https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-2-wedding-ring-set
The Valentine's Kit is interesting. I could definitely fake the Male ring using that. Thanks for pointing it out. I had never seen that product before.
There is also this from Truform at Rendo.

Go to Renderosity freestuff and type in ring in the search, you get a lot.

and here's a box for the ring and all of these are free for commercial and non commercial use

That's pretty much what I did, although I used Blender instead of Daz. Positioning it takes some time.
I use the basic band from Jewelery Basics for Genesis 3. https://www.daz3d.com/jewelry-basics-for-genesis-3-female-s
I applied it to a G8 character and then moved it into place. Once I had it where I wanted it, I saved it as a wearable preset, and then use that for any G8 characters for which I want a wedding band. It does require some minor tweaking when fitting characters with different finger sizes (scale mostly) but that doesn't take too long.
Export the tring as OBJ (to bake its adjsutments so that it fits on load), reimport, and then use the Transfer utility to rig it - it should then AutoFollow any morphs.
I should probably be clear; I don't understand exporting, importing, or "file types" for Daz at all. I'm less than a year into being a user and I still can't even wrap my head around the basics of animation and I struggle with posing. To do something like what you suggest is way beyond me.
Thanks, Richard. I'll give that a try.
You don't have to do any exporting or importing or any of that other stuff with the links I posted
I don't know if you want to bother sizing, parenting, adding a shader and whatever else you might need to do, but here is a simple wedding band model I made really quickly... the two images show the ring shown with one of the basic gold iRay shaders applied and the other is where it loads in relation to G8... yeah, it's huge but it was very basic.
(The zip file should be attached at the bottom of this post)
Good luck.
Thanks McGyver.
My pleasure
