In a sentence

The word "руке" here is the prepositional case of "рука" and is used to indicate the object, 'hand', as the location where the gift is being held.
Колечко на левой руке очень красивое.
The ring on the left hand is very beautiful.
In this sentence, "руке" is again the prepositional case of "рука"; it is used to describe the location (the ring is on the left hand).
