Found this in farm field permission that my brother in law got. We hunted for about a hour and a half, he found a nice 1883 IHC and I found this ring. Any help with identifying this would be greatly appreciated? I'm thinking a kids ring by size and the adjustable band. I'm just hoping someone might be able to read what is on it. I'll post cleaned up pictures later, it's soaking in distilled water now but I'm going to post the dirty pix now.

loosely translated "bright (light) like" probably Chinese... looks old
 

Looks a lot better cleaned up. Like angelito1 said it does look old...
Nice find!

I found a coin/charm years back in old Phila. it was a long time that someone finally told me with confidence that it was in fact a charm. This ring reminds me of that because there are four symbols just like the charm?
Thank you for your help and comment.

I did pull on the one arm slightly just to see if it was malleable, it did bend, I'd like to pull them apart to closely examine the inside for marts but I'm scared it would break. Don't ask me why but i still haven't looked with my loop to check for any maker marks. If I find anything I'll post it. Thanks for the reply
 

Congrats on finding that Chinese Good Luck ring.

The ring actually reads from right to left. It says 好彩 hao3 cai3 which means good luck.

Here are a couple of photos about it.
