Worn as a ring, it probably wouldn't be great for sensing, as I'd suggest it'd hamper vibration and fine feedback. Some people do trial the experience by attaching it to themselves, usually with glue or tape.
I think having it externally would be an inconvenience, and if it wasn't done constantly, I don't think the brain would learn to interpret it in quite the same way. It'd also likely get in your way during daily tasks. Ideally, you want to put it in a location with high sensation (this is why many people choose their fingertips), so any advantageous location would probably be a hindrance.
You could always wear a magnetic ring for lifting, though. I actually purchased my father a magnet-filled wristband for holding screws, bolts, etc, once I realised the utility of such a thing via my implant.
