ring of anti-charm: The wearer of this ring is immune to the effects of charm person, potions of human control, and rings of human control.
This came to mind yesterday while I was writing up my little dungeon. I can't be the first to have thought of this simple, elegant, and most useful magical item, yet I can't remember ever seeing something like it in any published game book or magazine. Maybe it's indicative of the type of world I run, but one of these rings would come in quite handy for just about any adventurer or people who have to deal with adventurers on a regular basis.

An excellent idea. I would only recommend a change of the name, to be more consistent with other magical items. "Ring of charm resistance".
Agreed, an excellent idea. Does it have any minor side effects? Perhaps it makes the wearer's eyes look mirrored and unnerves observers.
Nice one. Very useful, especially for NPCs ;)
Maybe the ring has charges, which are expended with each charm effect it cancels.
Unearthed Arcana's Ring of Mind-Shielding, perhaps?
"Ring of Harmless Charms?"
The Efficacious Band Of Affection Sequestration
Also - surely a must-have for Kings and the like...

I believe that Justicar wears just such a ring in Paul Kidds excellent trilogy White Plume Mountain, Descent into the Depths of the Earth, and Queen of the Demonweb Pits. And if the names sound familiar, it may be that he was taking a new look at these old dungeons. Quite entertaining.
