He now has a ring on his hand without a jewel. He could put Hermione there.
How romantic, in a very... Well, something.
I mean... "keeping your best female friend's dead body on a ring on your finger"...
As it happens, I was reading the The Black Company dark fantasy series lat month; one of the powerful wizards in it, Shifter (he's a shapeshifter specialist) goes around with a staff carved into a beautiful woman - which was originally just that. He's a quasi-insane evil villain.
So... the fantasy precedents aren't that great, I guess I am saying.
I suspect the ring is Hermione. The dead body in the cell is probably a death doll made from the old ring.
Magical exhaustion would mean cutting off his finger with a restored Hermione. That's why the rock was transfigured into a jewel and not a ring.
I’m not trying to imply anything naughty here, but Hermione is somewhat softer than that rock. (Until you see her angry.)
Not to mention he doesn’t have any obvious need to keep Hermione on his finger all the time, unlike the rock. Just long enough to find some safe spot to hide her. (Unless he plans to revive her within the next couple of days.)
