Here is a recent ring I picked up at an estate sale. The metal is sterling and it has a modernist look and feel to it. Certainly has a little age and is quality craftsmanship. I cannot find anything out about the makers mark or origin of this item. Any ideas out there on who made and where this is from?
Keep on Picking!
Thanks in advance,
Jason

That is one of the coolest rings I've ever seen! I love it!
Hi,
Neat ring! With the stamp signature, I'm thinking this is Asian-inspired. The shape of the rabbit looks a bit like traditional Netsuke designs. Or - perhaps for someone born in the year of the rabbit? Both Japanese and Chinese cultures have rabbits in their iconography.
Thanks for sharing your LUCKY find!
