1. Она носит кольцо
2. Она в кольце (it sounds a little bit stupid to me)

The first one is ok.

At the second one, a Russian would be baffled. They would expect to hear what is it that she is in the circle of / is surrounded by. For example, "она в кольце поклонников" or "она в кольце огня".

"Hunnarobus fessit eiusrilite fermosum! The words of the Forced Teleportation spell echoed in Tanya's ears for a long time, as she passed through space in a ring/circle of green sparks."

I only mention this because, hell, how often is there any good reason to cite Tanya Grotter?

P.S. Don't ask me how "forced" teleportation differs from any other kind.
