Planets can have rings. Can stars have the same sort of rings?

I don't think Sol's asteroid belt would count as a ring because, I assume, it's not nearly as dense as the rings around Saturn. Can a star even have a ring so dense as to be very visible? 

Thanks in advance!

It is definitely possible. 

First, a solid celestial body would have to enter the star's sphere of gravitational influence. Then, it would have to pass through the Roche limit. That's the distance where the tidal forces will rip the object apart. 

If the object wasn't on a collision trajectory with the star before disentegration, then it will form a ring around the star.
