Most notably, he wore it when he picked up Harry Potter from Privet Drive , [6] and took him to persuade Horace Slughorn to teach at Hogwarts. Therefore, Dumbledore may have specifically worn the ring—which would indicate his success in tracking down Voldemort's past—both to help encourage Slughorn to return to Hogwarts, and to help persuade him to turn over the correct version of the memory of Slughorn talking to Riddle about Horcruxes. Before his death at Snape's hands, Dumbledore magically sealed the cracked Resurrection Stone inside the Snitch that Harry had caught at his first ever Quidditch match by accidentally swallowing it.
Dumbledore wrote, " I open at the close ", to indicate that it would only open and yield the Resurrection Stone when Harry was about to accept death at the hands of Voldemort. Harry Potter opens the Snitch to reveal the Resurrection Stone. These spirits then comforted Harry as he walked toward his supposed death and shielded Harry from the effects of the Dementors guarding the Death Eaters' camp in the forest. After Voldemort discovered that Harry was hunting his Horcruxes, Voldemort decided to make sure that each of his Horcruxes was still safe and to increase their protection.
He decided that the ring was perhaps the least safe, and thus visited the shack first. Upon discovering that the ring had in fact disappeared, Voldemort let out a scream of fury and quickly left to check the security of his other Horcruxes. The ring was gold and set with a large, cracked, black stone , the crack appearing after Dumbledore struck the stone with Godric Gryffindor's Sword. Morfin Gaunt wore it on his right hand's ring finger, while Tom Riddle wore it on his left hand's middle finger.
The Peverell coat of arms engraved on the stone in the ring actually the Resurrection Stone is the sign of the Deathly Hallows. To protect his Horcrux, Tom Riddle placed the ring under a very powerful curse , so much so that Albus Dumbledore himself mentioned that had it not been for his prodigious skill, he might have died in mere moments of being cursed. Even so, Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape were only able to delay the curse's effects for roughly a year.

Dumbledore put on Marvolo's ring, knowing that it was the Resurrection Stone which was on the ring. He also knew even though he "lost his head" in his excitement to see his family again that the ring was a Horcrux and would "surely carry a curse":. When I discovered it, after all those years, buried in the abandoned home of the Gaunts - the Hallow I had craved most of all, though in my youth I had wanted it for very different reasons - I lost my head, Harry.
I quite forgot that it was now a Horcrux, that the ring was sure to carry a curse. I picked it up, and I put it on Now when Harry realised that the Resurrection Stone was inside the Snitch, all he had to do was turn it three times for it to 'work':. He closed his eyes and turned the stone over in his hand three times. He knew it had happened, because he heard slight movements around him that suggested frail bodies shifting their footing on the earthy, twig-strewn ground that marked the outer edge of the forest.
I may be missing something, but did Dumbledore incorrectly use the Resurrection Stone? I'm assuming the answer may have been that Dumbledore wanted to have the ring on, and then turn it thrice whenever he felt like conjuring up his family; or that he simply "lost his head"; but he surely didn't need to put it on right?
Dumbledore did indeed use the stone incorrectly. In his excitement to recall his lost family, he let himself forget that the ring was a Horcrux and he simply put the ring on. However since this was, at the time, one of Voldemort's horcruxes, putting the ring on triggered the curse that would have killed Dumbledore, which is why he made Snape promise to kill him rather than to allow Draco to do it.
After Dumbledore recovered the ring, he destroyed the Horcrux with the Sword of Gryffindor, which is to say he specifically destroyed the ring. The resurrection stone was not destroyed. The stone was then placed into the Golden Snitch for Harry to find.
Now, back to your question about whether he used it correctly. According to the "Tale of the Three Brothers", when Cadmus Peverell was first granted the stone by Death, he turned it thrice in hand and recalled his long-lost love from the grave.
This established that turning the ring thrice in hand is the method of using the stone, and since the "Tale of the Three Brothers" is the source of Harry's only knowledge about the stone, he turned it thrice in hand to recall his loved ones prior to sacrificing himself to Voldemort. Also, Tom Riddle was known to wear the Gaunt Ring openly during his time at Hogwarts, so it is unlikely that simply wearing the ring would allow one to use the Resurrection Stone. As cbornsh2 perfectly explained in their answer, Dumbledore did use the stone incorrectly.
That answers the question you highlighted at the end "What is the correct way to use the Resurrection Stone? But if your main question is the title: "Why did he put the ring on? In your quote, Dumbledore states that "through [his] youth [he] had wanted it for very different reasons":. On April 16, Hermione is attacked by a mountain troll in Hogwarts. Harry and Fred and George Weasley come help her. They fight and kill the troll but Hermione dies of her injuries..
