I am not sure Saruman's ring is mentioned somewhere else. It may well be a kind of ring of power, since Saruman - Curumo, one of Aule's people (the name itself means "master of craft"), was especially studying ring-lore. On the other hand it might have been useless badge devised only to tease Gandalf as well.

And I deem by comparing those two downfalls - of his power and of elves, he probably meant two different things - in a former case his driving out Orthank, and in a latter perished power of the elven rings.
