Thank you, Manikin
Looks like a Chinese dragon to me.
The ring looks similar to WW2 era souvenir rings that I have seen from soldiers that served in the China Burma India (CBI) theater.

Thanks scottvez I will look into it.
Very interesting ring! Love the band to which the dragon is bonded, and the dragon is attractive, too!
Probably Chinese. Nothin incredible though, just a little trinkety silver ring. You'll never figure out exactly who made it
Thanks, miKKo, for your nice comment. :)
Thanks for posting your comment yes it could be just a trinklety ring but we have to remember beauty is the eye of the beholder. I personally think is scary ,miKKo finds it interest love's the band. That' what's what I love CW everyone has there own opinion and I respect yours. Thanks Stillwater for being you, my respects.
I don't know why that is but I had always loved snake jewelry since I was young.
I do not like real snakes. LOL
It's me again. I just took another look. I guess it is a dragon huh? LOL
I think it is snake! with snake skin, most Chinese dragons have 5 toes or claws. or water serpent! I do really like it!
