Chinese Archer's Ring

A thick pale ring with one side flared out like a lip, polished by use.

This jade archer's ring is from China, and dates to the 19th century. Jade has been carved in China for thousands of years, and the hard, cool stone is generally prized for its smooth polish and color. Heavy ring of cloudy cream-white with a rounded band and a wide, flat flange spread at one edge. The surface is smooth and slightly translucent, with a few small marks and soft edges.

Simple, hefty, and sure of its curves.
