An Israeli spinner ring is a spinning-band ring tied to Israeli or Jewish craft, usually in sterling silver and engraved with real Hebrew. The label gets used loosely online, so the thing that actually matters is who made it and whether the Hebrew is real. A true piece is solid metal with correct Hebrew, not a plated copy with decorative letters.
Buyers care about this for a reason. On Reddit, Jewish shoppers swap stories about "Hebrew" jewelry that turned out to be sold by sellers with no connection to the language, one calling a piece "almost too close to appropriation." Authenticity is the whole point.

Why sterling silver is the classic choice
Most Israeli-style spinner rings are sterling silver. It holds fine Hebrew detail and costs less than gold. It is also solid metal, with no thin coating to wear off, so the ring keeps its look for years. Want an heirloom?
