Campaign legal? It is in the PHB, it is just not on the rings table.
Define "it is in the PHB"?
Unless a magic item is explicitly listed in a campaign-legal rulebook, it doesn't exist in PFS. As Pirate Rob notes, even if, logically, there *could* be a Ring of Bluffing (with the precedent of the Ring of Climbing), unless a game designer has specifically statted out such a ring, and listed it in a rulebook, sorry, you're out of luck.

Mask of Stony Demeanor
Slot head; Price 500 gp; Weight 4 lbs.
When worn, this mask transforms the wearer's face into a stone statue and its voice into an emotionless monotone. Though it allows the wearer to speak, its facial expressions and voice betray little emotion, granting a +10 competence bonus on Bluff checks made to lie and a +5 competence bonus on Bluff checks made to feint, but also imposes a –5 penalty on Bluff checks made to pass a hidden message.

Permanent magic items, such as rings, do not follow the same rules as consumables, such as potions and scrolls, which are described how to create and price with spells.
Ooo, really? So I can purchase a potion of Vanish brewed by a 5th-level caster for 250gp and save myself the 50gp that I would have spent on a potion of Invisibility that costs 300gp?
I generally use them in combat for sneak attack positioning so I don't need the 3min duration, but 1rd for a 1st-level Vanish potion wasn't cutting it, either.

No, you can't do that. He didn't say you could get any old potion you wanted, he meant that a potion doesn't have to be individually listed in a book on some magic item list in order to be bought, the way a wondrous item or ring or whatever needs to be. You're still restricted to minimum CL on potions, oils and wands.

Only if you find one on a chronicle sheet.
The Guide states the following on page 25:
All potions, scrolls, and wands are available only at the minimum caster level unless found at a higher caster level on a Chronicle sheet.

Surely that Mask is too good to be true... any NPC worth his salt would say "Um take off that weird mask and say that again, something seems fishy here"... but +5 to feint for 500 gp seems an easy decision... as Adam suggests above, I'd take the damn thing off in social situations because it would seem "fishy"
