The Alchemist Ring (アルケミストリング, Arukemisuto Ringu)[1], alternatively written Alchemy Ring (錬金指輪, Renkin Yubiwa)[2], is a special ring used by members of the Alchemist Academy and Alchemys Union.
Overview[]
The Alchemist Rings depict the logo of the Alchemys Union.
The rings provide the users with access to the Academy entrance, as well as the means to perform numerous feats of alchemy, ranging from limited nature manipulation to wiping memories. It can also prevent the memories of the user from being wiped by other alchemists.[3] When it is used to perform alchemy, the gem of the ring will glow while the energy in the ring will be used. If the energy in the ring is depleted, the user will not be able to use alchemy until the energy is recharged. However , the members of Alchemist Academy can shorten the recharging process through the Alchemist Charger system develop by Sabimaru.
It is later revealed that the powers of Chemy can also be stored and utilized by the ring, prior to the users having the knowledge of the relevant Chemy.
Usually, the ring is worn on the user's ring finger. However, if the ring is placed on users index finger, it will grant the user the Alchemist Uniform (錬金服, Renkin Fuku)[4], which differs depending on the color of gem embedded in the ring.
Alchemist Rings are also used as "proof" and a "source". The ranks of the Alchemists are classified according to the color of the stones present on the rings.[5]
Types and Users[]
Alchemist Rings are ranked according to the color of their gems as follows: Red > Green > Blue, with red being the highest ranking and blue being the lowest.[6]
Generally, students of the Alchemist Academy have blue rings, graduates have green rings, and senior alchemists like members of the Alchemys Union or leading researchers have red rings. The rings themselves are usually silver, though select powerful alchemists like Fuga Kudo and Glion have gold rings with red gems. After becoming Kamen Riders, Rinne Kudo and Supana Kurogane's gems became colors unique to them and outside of the normal hierarchy.

- Former: Rinne Kudo (became orange), Supana Kurogane (promoted to green), Daiki Suzuya (deceased), Kenichi Tsuruhara (promoted to green)

Notes[]
- Rinne and Supana are currently the only alchemists to have uniquely colored gems on their rings.
- Supana's ring was originally planned to become red until Supana's actor, Yasunari Fujibayashi, proposed the idea of it becoming purple instead.[7]
