shel ha'ba'al/ha'adon


Explanation:
In Hebrew characters:
של הבעל/האדון

One of the meanings of Lord is husband (ba'al in Hebrew). Another meaning is Sir/Mr. (adon in Hebrew).
shel= of, belonging to
ha'ba'al = the husband
ha'adon = the Sir/Mr.

disagree  Eynat: A husband would not carry a ring saying 'of the husband'. In any case, ha-adon doesn't work here.
