Chinese Silver Charm Ring, circa 1900
About the Item
Dated to the late 19th century, this silver charm ring was believed to protect the wearer from bad luck and malevolent spirits. The ring is decorated in open relief with a large bat surrounded by swirling clouds. A visual metaphor for the word "blessings," bats are good omens thought to bring about happiness and prosperity. The front of the ring is strung with a thin chain ending with a small charm shaped as a strawberry.
Ring band is adjustable. All jewelry sales are final. No refunds or exchanges.
