In heraldry, a charge (symbol) consisting of a ring, particularly used in coats of arms and family crests.
From French heraldic terminology, combining 'annulet' with '-ee' (a suffix indicating a bearing or charge). The term is specific to heraldic language and remains largely technical.
An annulettee in a family crest was a statement of elegant minimalism—a single ring said 'our honor is as solid and unbroken as this endless circle,' a powerful claim on just one simple shape.
