If you're wanting to know how to homebrew such an item and keep balance in check, I would pattern the ring after the Wand of Magic Missiles.
I'd also look at ring of spell storing. if its a level 1 spell, it might be okay to not have attunement, but if you're talking about a more powerful spell, you'd probably want to require it.
Rule of thumb, any magic item that can cast spells that require a Spell Attack roll require Attunement by a spellcaster since no spellcasters will not fave a Spellcasting Ability and the magic item won’t know what ability to use.
For stuff like a Ring of Spell Storing, it requires Attunement because of how powerful it is, and it specifies where it pulls its stats for gameplay purposes.
Are there any rules or limitations for a character who wanted a ring of a spell such as inflict wounds
