Portia gives the ring to Bassanio on the condition that he should never pluck the ring from his finger and never part with it till the day he dies nor give it away.She says that if he breaks this oath,he will give her tha vantage of getting angry on him and having a quarrel.
Portia gave the ring to Bassiano as a token of her love. That love from Portia signified her love and commitment.
While giving the ring to Bassiano she told him about what the ring signifies and how important it is to her. She also said that what was her now belojgs to him as she herself is his.
She also warned Bassiano that if he loses or gives away that ring and the token of their love then he would be in big trouble.
Later on we read that Portia disguises herself as a man and asks Bassiano to give that ring in return of her help. Bassiano reluctantly gives that ring to him.
Later on Portia messes up Bassiano and says as long as he doesn't get her the ring she won't allow him in the bed.
