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 relief with a round gourd at the center flanked by two butterflies. This motif of butterflies and gourds or melons was popular during the Qing dynasty and conveys blessings for a large family with many sons. Three chain tassels hang from the face of the ring, strung with a petite bell and feather-like charms.

Ring band is adjustable. All jewelry sales are final. No refunds or exchanges.
