Ring of Spell Storing 5e
Ring, rare (requires attunement)
This ring stores spells cast into it, holding them until the attuned wearer uses them. The ring can store up to 5 levels’ worth of spells at a time. When found, it contains 1d6 − 1 levels of stored spells chosen by the GM.
Any creature can cast a spell of 1st through 5th level into the ring by touching the ring as the spell is cast. The spell has no effect, other than to be stored in the ring. If the ring can't hold the spell, the spell is expended without effect. The level of the slot used to cast the spell determines how much space it uses.
While wearing this ring, you can cast any spell stored in it. The spell uses the slot level, spell save DC, spell attack bonus, and spellcasting ability of the original caster, but is otherwise treated as if you cast the spell. The spell cast from the ring is no longer stored in it, freeing up space.

Rings of Spell Storing are the magic batteries of the D&D world. You store the magic energy in it and get it back later for a single action. Easy peasy!
You can wear as many rings as you have fingers, with no other limitations beyond the regular magic item limitations like attunement.
Any character can attune to a Ring of Spell Storing; only attuned characters can cast the spells from the ring, but anyone can store spells in the ring, allowing you to share the party’s spells with non-caster characters.
Mutliple characters can store spells in the ring; a cleric can bank a Healing Word and Revivify in it, and a wizard can donate a Shield, all of which are castable by the rogue who attuned to the ring using the cleric and wizard’s saves respectively.
Casting a spell from a magic item requires it be cast at its lowest level, which means I don’t believe this ring can hold “up-cast” spells, rules as written.
You don’t need to provide any components for the spells cast from the ring, but you still need to concentrate on an effect if it requires concentration.
Storing spells in the ring still requires verbal, somatic, and material components.
