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. The Chinese zodiac rat holds a significant place in Chinese culture. The rat is considered clever, resourceful, and adaptable. In Chinese folklore, the rat is known for its intelligence and ability to overcome challenges. In Chinese tradition, it is believed that wearing accessories or clothing with rat imagery can bring luck and prosperity. People born in the Year of the Rat are believed to possess qualities such as wit, charm, and ambition. They are seen as quick thinkers and often excel in problem-solving. The Carnelian is 19mm by 12mm. The ring is currently a size 6.75 US and the ring is adjustable as the band is not closed. The ring is hallmarked China. The ring weighs 4.5 grams.

Art Deco Coral Ring 14 Karat Gold Red Salmon Coral Cabochon, 1924
Located in New York, NY
A magnificent original Art Deco Ring with two beautiful natural round Red - Salmon Coral Cabochons set in a stunning Art Deco design in 14 Karat Gold. The ring is a masterpiece of the Art Deco period with its dramatic color and style yet very clean lines. The ring features the two absolutely gorgeous natural Red - Salmon Coral cabochon gems. I love the color and cut of this Coral. The round coral cabochons are each 1/2 inch in diameter and the total length of the top of the ring is 1 inch. Such a dramatic and wonderful antique Art Deco Coral jewel. And we love our antique coral in this vivid color. The interior of the ring band is engraved with initials which I believe are A R and the date 1924 and hallmarked 585 for 14 Karat Gold. It is so very difficult to find original Art Deco Coral rings...
