Frank Underwood's ring is his class ring from the military academy he went to. Frank seems to have a love/hate relationship with this institution as we see in the episode where he goes back. He hated it but still recognizes that it shaped his character, there is also the alleged intimate relationship he had with one of his classmates.

 

The double tap, as he explained to Raymond Tusk is from his father. It both serves the purpose of knocking on wood and strengthening his knuckles. So even though he acknowledges that many opportunities come from luck, he doesn't rely on it and still keeps ready to fight if threatened.

 

Those are two small details that contribute to making Underwood a more complex character. It's worth noting that Underwood himself probably created this habit in order to create his unique persona. It also makes Frank seem to be quite a nostalgic, despite him denying it. We saw that in the way he handled the news about his great great grandfather, and similarly the double ring tap is a constant reminder of where he comes from.
