Marvolo Gaunt's Ring
Marvolo Gaunt's (Tom Riddles maternal Grandfather) Ring was an heirloom of the House of Gaunt, descendants of Salazar Slytherin and Cadmus Peverell. It is a small ring inset with a stone engraved with what Marvolo Gaunt called the Peverell coat of arms. It is actually the symbol of the Deathly Hallows and the stone is the Resurrection Stone.
At some point shortly before or after his graduation from Hogwarts, Riddle used the murder of his father, Tom Riddle Snr to turn the ring into a Horcrux. After that, he lost interest in wearing it any longer and chose to return it to the very place he had stolen it from: the Gaunt shack. He placed the ring inside a golden box and hid it in the ruins of the shack. He then set up many protective enchantments to deter outsiders from entering the shack and finding the ring. He also placed a powerful curse on the ring as well, one that would quickly lead to the death of the ring's wearer if not stemmed. The ring was left there in the ruin of the Gaunt shack for many decades to come.
