[Lord of the Rings] Why did Sauron go with rings, and not a different object?

Sauron led the elves to create the Rings of Power and then secretly created the One Ring to influence all the others. Then his ring is sliced off (along with his fingers), leading to the events of the books. Why didn't he choose to forge another object which isn't worn on one of the weakest and most exposed parts of the body? Like a necklace, an earring, or perhaps a dapper wristwatch?

He didn't intend for people to be cutting *his* fingers.

The whole point was to manipulate things from behind the scenes. If the ringwaiths or the dwarves kings got their fingers cut off, fuck it, not Sauron's problem. He'll just manipulate the next wearer.

Sauron much more of a mastermind then a front line fighter. He was only willing to enter conflict surrounded by an army and secure in his victory- and look how well *that* went.
