for engraved rings, write the code engraved on the ring in square brackets, just after the color of the ring, for example W [FR] for a white ring (W) engraved FR, or Gf [H99] for a green ring with flag engraved H99
For special rings such as long dotted rings write the color of the ring, followed by a lowercase d (for "dots") then the color of the dots. For example a white ring with black dots will be noted WdN. (White dots Niger)
