Question
I read somewhere that King Solomon used to have a ring that was written
something like "Everything will be gone" and he used to look at it often and it
supposedly made him calmer and wiser when making big decisions.
I'm not asking about the magic ring he believed to have, unless it was written
the phrase above.
Could you please try to answer this question,  if you are unable to answer this
question, could you please forward this question to someone you think may
know?

Thank you so much

Answer
The so-called ring of Solomon is not biblical.  

According to Wikipedia [internet encyclopedia]:
In legend:  In one of the Arabian Nights' Entertainments, an evil djinn is described as being imprisoned in a copper bottle for 1,800 years by a lead seal stamped by the ring. Other, later books (Pseudomonarchia Daemonum) manage to fit far more demons in the bottle.
One simple form of the Seal: In some versions of the story, the ring was made of brass and iron, carved with the Name of God, and set with four jewels. In later versions the ring simply bore the symbol now called the Star of David (hexagram), often within a circle, usually with the two triangles interlaced (hence chiral) rather than intersecting. Often the gaps are filled with dots or other symbols. Other versions have it as a pentagram or other more complicated figures. Works on demonology typically depict the pattern of the seal as being two concentric circles, with a number of mystical sigils between the inner and outer circles, and various more-or-less complex geometric shapes within the inner circle.


I hope this helps.

Best wishes, Joe.
