The composition of the Sun, with heavy elements like carbon and oxygen, indicates that it formed from the remnants of previous generations of stars that had already undergone fusion. This is in contrast to first generation stars, which would have had only hydrogen and helium. Additionally, studies of other second-generation stars in the Milky Way provide further evidence for the Sun being part of this later stellar generation.

How is a gold ring evidence that the solar system is at least a second generation star system?

It is more than likely that our Sun is a 3rd generation star - Population I star [See related question] Like all elements with an atomic number larger than iron, gold was formed from a supernova nucleosynthesis process. [See related question] This explosions scattered metal containing dusts (including heavy elements like gold) into the region of space in which they later condensed into our solar system and the Earth. So for gold to be present in the solar system, our Sun has to be at least a 2nd generation star - probably 3rd generation.
