About the Item
This is a wonderful and rare Chinese Rat Ring with a central carved Carnelian in a beautiful flower motif. The silver gilt setting for the carnelian is extraordinary with a fantastic rat motif. The rats crawling through the leaves and foliage are on either side of the ring. The rats and leaves have fabulous details. The open work design of the ring is particularly wonderful. The carving of the carnelian is beautifully done. The ring is an antique Chinese jewel and marked China. It is a bit difficult to date but dates to the Art Deco period or considerably earlier. The ring is adjustable in size.

Rare Japan Shakudo Snake Ring 14 Karat Gold Antique Victorian Samurai circa 1870
Located in New York, NY
This is a very rare ring depicting a snake traveling through the grass in the historic Japanese art form of Shakudo, in 14 Karat Gold. The Shakudo pieces originated in the Samurai period in Japan and were created by esteemed artists who made ornaments to adorn swords and armor. When the Samurai period ended, these artists moved to making wearable art during the period of the 1870s - 1900.
Here we have a very rare Shakudo piece of a snake traveling through grass. Notice the grace of the proportion of the images and the Japanese esthetic of asymmetry. The mixed metals Shakudo plaque is set in 14 Karat Gold.
In the Victorian era the snake was the symbol of eternal love. It has come to symbolize sexuality, rebirth and wisdom.
Snake jewelry is highly desirable and collected today.
