Hi @mikhailkonstantin3d

There's a few ways you can do this.

One option, is to select an edge around the ring and go to Modify->Convert Poly Edge to Curve.

From there you can duplicate along that curve like in this tutorial:

Another option is to use MASH and the curve to duplicate around it like in this video:
