This cursed ring appears to be a magical ring of another sort.
When the wearer dons the ring, they will discover the ring a type of ring highly desired by them. e.g. A ring of free action, regeneration, spell turning, wishes, etc. This is, of course, a ruse as the ring is non-functional.
In addition to the normal effects of a cursed item, the wearer will unconsciously attempt to assist the ring in any way possible to continue the ruse. i.e. If the ring appears to be a ring of regeneration, the wearer will surreptitiously sip a potion of extra-healing noting later to their comrades the efficacy of the ring.
The GM should choose the function of the ring based on the abilities of the wearer and likelihood the wearer will be able to keep the ring (as they will forever desire to possess it and the ring will not function for others until the curse is removed from that individual).
