No, not those rings. This WSJ Opinion piece has some interesting thoughts on tolerance, the War between Civilizations, and an 18th Century play.
My counsel is: Accept the matter wholly as it stands.
If each one from his father has his ring,
Then let each one believe his ring to be
The true one. Possibly the father wished
To tolerate no longer in his house
The tyranny of just one ring!–And know:
That you, all three, he loved; and loved alike;
Since two of you he’d not humiliate . . . Let each strive
To match the rest in bringing to the fore
The magic of the opal in his ring!
Assist that power with all humility . . .
And with profound submission to God’s will!
Interesting thoughts.
