Found an Asian ring

[MackDog]

I found this ring 9" down at an old park in Spokane WA. I think it says sterling and it looks to have 2 gold nugget pieces imbedded also the writing on the front appears to be gold. It feels heavy and looks like a family heirloom type ring. If anyone can shed some light on what type of ring it might be, age, origin of the character I would greatly appreciate it. Spokane had Chinese laborers to build the railroads in the late 1800's could it be from them.

Thank you for looking MackDog

It is Chinese. You need to take it to a well known jeweler who can give you more info on the style, era, and possibly markings. That is a SUPERIOR find!

I think the flowers on the sides are Peony flowers, a symbol of "Luck" in China.

I think it's early 1900 to 1930.

It's old. Looks like gold applied on those flowers.
