Croziers / Staffs
The Crozier is a Pastoral Staff that is conferred on bishops (and abbots) at their installation. In the West, the top of the staff is curved to remind the bishop of the shepherd's crook and of his pastoral care of the people entrusted to him. It is a sign of the bishop's need to keep watch over his whole flock.
Pectoral Crosses
The pectoral cross gets its name because it is worn over the breast, or pectus. There are rules determining whether it is worn over or under whatever the bishop is wearing. If he's in a suit and collar, the pectoral cross is usually placed in the vest pocket with the chain showing.
Rings
The Bishop's Ring is a symbol of the bishop's fidelity to and nuptial bond with the church, his spouse. The Bishop's Ring is usually made of gold with an amethyst.
