I just finished watching all four seasons of Zero no Tsukaima, I don't know if
I missed something, but I couldn't find an answer to this question.

After the battle at Lagdorian Lake (at episode 9, season 1), Saito promised to
give back the Ring of Andvari to the Holy Water Spirit in exchange for "the
tear of a water elemental", that was needed to create an antidote.

This ring was with Sheffield at first place, but after she loses it, who take
possession of it? Was it ever returned to the Water spirit?

What happened to the Ring of Andvari?


The anime covers the encounter with the water spirit in episode nine of season
one.

While asking the spirit about getting the ingredient (a part of her body),
Montmorency informs Saito that the spirit is immortal, and so has a different
perception of time. After later learning that she is seeking the ring of
Andvari, Saito immediately promises to find and return the ring.

Guiche mocks him, saying a spirit won't trust some non-mage commoner it's
never met. The spirit immediately agrees, saying that Gandalfr has kept his
promises before, so he can be trusted. She hands over the ingredient in the
same action.

At this stage they do not know what "Gandalfr" really is, but the mission is
accomplished. When Montmorency questions him why he would so casually agree to
it, saying how he'll find it one day, he points out that since the spirit is
immortal it won't really mind if it takes years for him to complete the quest.

The ring remains unreturned in the novels. You can expect it to remain that
way forevermore:
