“And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;”
Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph's finger. He dressed him in robes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck. The signet ring, fine linen, gold chain — the physical signs of Egyptian royal authority — are placed on the Hebrew prisoner. The application: the physical markers of authority are the external confirmation of the internal reality: Joseph now has the power that God promised in the dream.
