I believe the answer to my question is yes but wanted to double check. 

 

Can a rogue/thief with the use object ability use a bonus action to reactivate a ring of invisibility.  Essentially remaining invisible the entire combat except during the attack component of the round?

 

Thanks in advance.

The answer is no. The Dungeon Master's Guide states that activating a magic item is not a function of the Use an Item action. pg 141

 

It is stated specifically that the rogue's Fast Hands can't be used to activate magic items. Fast Hands can not be used to drink magic potions either.

Thanks for clarifying!  Totally missed that.
