Did Saruman die? And what of Saruman's ring?

So we know that in the Scouring of the Shire Saruman "dies". His body goes up in smoke and the smoke turns towards Valinor, but did Saruman actually die?
We know that Gandalf's essence somehow survived the Balrog and was sent back. Did Saruman's essence also survive? (and who knows whether he would be sent back)

A separate but related point is "what happened to the ring that Saruman made?".
Sauron's ring allowed Sauron to life in spirit form in Middle Earth. Did Saruman's ring have the same power?
What powers exactly did Saruman's ring have?
