dicts describe it mostly as annular with a gap; images concur, mostly flat, holed disk with a gap
It's not a ring, 佩玉
---------------------------------
Editor: Can be an earring (a type of pendant, after all):
TP ~ 玻璃耳玦、 glass earrings,
ACE and its successors (including NC, A, & PLC) refer to it as a "ring", which is misleading.

OED @ penannular ~ "Nearly annular; having the form of an almost complete ring; circular with a small part of the circumference missing."
That seems more specific than "quasi-annular", which could refer to a shape without a gap, as in this description of a backrest ("characterized by a quasi-annular frame")
