She became Isaac's wife. The gold ring and bracelets were a gift from Abraham's servant who was sent to bring back a wife for Abraham's son, Isaac. She was a good woman according to the bible.

Note that while most translations refer to a nose ring, some just say the ring was put on her face. This could be stretched to include an earring but the easiest explanation would be that it was a nose ring.

Rebekah was the mother of Jacob and Esau. Esau was the oldest, but the mother was told by her god that Jacob was to inherit the leadership of the Hebrews. She helped Jacob to deceive his father and obtain the inheritance. Jacob was later given the name Isreal after an altercation with an angel. He is the father of the 12 sons who become the 12 tribes.

Genesis 24:47 Then I asked her, 'Whose daughter are you?' She said, 'The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' So I put the ring on her nose and the bracelets on her arms.

Rebekah was from the family of Abraham. She was receiving ths gift from Abraham's servant because he had prayed for the Lord to reveal to him who the woman was that was going to be Abraham's son Isaac's wife. It was the way to demonstrate to her and her family that she was going to be joining with a wealthy branch of the family.
