There are a number of stories behind the origins of the keeper ring stretching far back to the Georgian eras. 

One was that they were worn as guard rings when jewels were worn over gloved hands, another and perhaps the most commonly known is that they are used to hold or keep more expensive rings in place by wearing them above.
