Typical collocations
Common collocations include 'einen Diamantring kaufen' (to buy a diamond ring), 'einen Diamantring schenken' (to give someone a diamond ring), and 'einen Diamantring tragen' (to wear a diamond ring). With 'schenken' (to give), the person receiving the gift is in the dative case.
EXAMPLE

On the finger
When wearing a ring, 'am Finger' (on the finger) is often used with the dative case. When putting it on, 'an den Finger' (onto the finger) is used with the accusative case because the ring is moving into position.
