So according to the rules, you can only wear 1 magical ring per hand. Does this extend to toes? Could you theoretically equip 3 (4 as an artificer), 1 on each hand and 1 on each foot?
Magic rings offer an amazing array of powers to those lucky enough to find them. Unless a ring’s description says otherwise, a ring must be worn on a finger, or a similar digit, for the ring’s magic to function.
Wearing and Wielding Items
Using a magic item’s properties might mean wearing or wielding it. A magic item meant to be worn must be donned in the intended fashion: boots go on the feet, gloves on the hands, hats and helmets on the head, and rings on the finger.
A toe is a digit similar to a finger, so you can wear rings there if you really want to and they fit. But there's nothing stopping you from putting two rings on the same hand or even the same finger, and you're unlikely to ever own so many usable rings that equipping them would become an issue.
I guess paranoid thieves would put them on their toes, so they are harder to steal... unless they are haflings, then it's probably "fashionable" since they don't wear shoes.
Hmm I remember reading somewhere that you could only wear 1 ring per hand. Maybe that was in an old edition or different game entirely!
Definitely an older edition. Some of them had specific limits as to how many of each different type or "slot" of magic item you could wear, while 5th edition goes with an approach of allowing a character to wear whatever or however many reasonably fit given their individual descriptions.

You're not limited to one ring per hand.

Yeah, your real limiter is the number of things you can attune at any one time. Many rings require attunment to function.
