How many satellites would we have to launch to create an artificial set of rings around Earth

Saturn has rings of debris which orbit it, and it is possible to get a satellite into an orbit that will at least last a few years, so my question is as follows; How many satellites (or just the pure volume of material if it is easier) would we have to launch into a temporary orbit (unless a permanent orbit is possible) to create at least one artificial ring around Earth that is visible to the naked eye.
