The Gilbert Rings protect people from being killed by supernatural beings or causes, as long as the rings are worn. The Gilbert Rings are worn by The Gilbert Men, which includes Johnathan Gilbert (who had the original Gilbert Ring and passed it down to his future descendants), Grayson Gilbert, John Gilbert and Jeremy Gilbert. However, the rings can be cut off or forcibly taken off, and then the person wearing it can be killed. Grayson and John Gilbert inherited the rings from their father. John gave his own ring to Isobel, who then gave it to Alaric. John then took possession of Grayson's ring after the latter's death. There are only two known Gilbert Rings in existence. Both rings are made with black stones. Emily Bennett had enchanted these rings and gave them to Johnathan Gilbert, who has passed it down to his descendants. Apparently the rings will not prevent death from natural causes or accidents, as Grayson Gilbert died in a car accident while still wearing his ring. John had given his ring to Isobel Saltzman who gave it to her husband Alaric. John took Grayson's, but later gave it to his nephew Jeremy Gilbert (The Return). John forced Alaric to return his ring, but before he sacrificed himself for his daughter Elena Gilbert, John gave his ring to Jeremy to give to Elena (The Sun Also Rises). In The New Deal, the ring failed to completely heal Alaric when he was hit by one of Klaus' hybrids driving an SUV. So Elena and the others now believe that the rings's power can last for a certain amount of time.
