The ring of protection helps your armor class. The ring of increase damage increases the amount of damage you do when you hit a monster.

The ring of adornment is not good for anything. A ring of protection is used to help your armour class. A ring of dexterity helps you to hit a monster. A ring of increase damage adds the number of damage points to the amount damage you do when a blow hits as the ring is plus.

Here is what I know about these things:
1. The ring of adornment
As far as I can tell, it makes you look pretty. No more, no less.
Monsters do not seem to be swayed by beauty, either.
2. The uses for the wand of invisibility
It makes the monster you zap invisible. Anyone for an invisible dragon?
3. The ring of protection
This increases the protective power of your armor. A person with +5
plate (armor class 12 in 5.3) and a ring of +2 protection has an
effective armor class of 14, which is nice for beating up on just
about anything.
4. The ring of dexterity
This increases the chance of your weapon hitting something you
swing at. A +3,+3 two handed sword with a ring of dexterity of +2
gives you an effective +5,+3 weapon (nice thing to have with +14
armor).
5. The ring of increase damage
This increases the damage of your weapon. Assuming the same sword,
a +2 ring of increase damage gives you a +3,+5 weapon.
