In those days men used rings as signets, or family seals that they can stamp on contracts etc. In essence the Father was giving the long lost son authority to again use His name. Since the day of Pentecost we dont need a ring anymore, Eph.1:13 "In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise."NKJV
