you don't see people wearing little rings around their neck in memory of Frodo

I suspect you mean something like ‘you see many many fewer people wearing little rings than crosses’, but if you mean it literally it (slightly) surprises me and my model of the world (in particular, the part of the world you're in) needs updating.

Recently, there's been an upswing in people wearing replica Soul Gems in memory of Madoka.

"Frodo Lives!" graffiti was common in the 1960s and 1970s, although this seems to have been more a counterculture shibboleth than anything else.

Similarly, I've been seeing a lot of Deathly Hallows tattoos lately.
