About the Item
Dated to the late 19th century, this silver charm ring was crafted by the Miao peoples of the Guizhou province and was believed to protect the wearer from bad luck and malevolent spirits. The ring is decorated in low relief with five-petal flowers and a border of tiny conch shells. Two butterflies flank the blossoms and three short chains hang from the ring band, each ending in a small repoussé bell shaped as an offering fruit.
This motif of two butterflies facing each other is a symbol for joyful encounters, such as the union of two lovers or an unexpected meeting between friends. A common motif on wedding gifts, two butterflies also conveys a blessing of marital happiness.
Ring band is adjustable. All jewelry sales are final. No refunds or exchanges.
