A simple geometrical representation of a human hand has been constructed which allow a metallic
ring to be placed on the finger. The electric field magnitude within an isolated finger is measured and compared
with the cases when the ring is worn. The ring has been found to significantly alter the electric field magnitude
within the finger at 1800 MHz. This effect can also be found within the adjacent fingers at both 900 MHz and
1800 MHz.
