You find items that give different types of bonuses. For example a ring of protection and a amulet of natural armor will both stack with regular armor as they're different types of bonuses. All these will also stack with a shield. On top of this certain items give a dodge bonus to armor class, which also stacks with all of the above. The description of the item says what type of bonus it gives- armor, shield, natural armor, dodge, deflection. Different types will stack.
To answer the main question, ditch the ring of protection and get a cloak of fortification instead. It adds to your saving throws too. You could also try the boots of reflexes or bracers of dexterity, both increase your dexterity, thereby increasing your ac. Unfortunately barabarians have low ac. Seeing you're only using a katana grab a shield, the good ones will add 4 or 5 to your ac and some have good special abilities too.
