I have no source for this at hand, sorry, but for what it's worth, I have read that members of the Senate in Imperial times wore a particular type of gold ring, although members of the oldest patrician families often preferred the more traditional iron senator's ring of the Republican period.<br>

This may be what you are thinking of. It was not a universal citizen's prerogative, but something senators seem to have worn to distinguish themselves, as with the laticlavian toga.<br>
