Fabulous and one of a kind Shakudo cocktail ring. This ring has been crafted in solid yellow gold of 14 karats with high polished finish, chiseled 24kt gold and blackened patinated bronze (niiro). The main decorative element displayed, is a genuine Japanese Menuki depicting the figure of a fierce dragon with the mythical pearl. The menuki mounted in this ring is an original part, recovered from a genuine antique Japanese sword from the Edo period (1603-1864). Created with exceptional Shakudo (mix of metals) technique, with blackened bronze and carefully chiseled with rich yellow gold of 24 karats. Weight: 16.7 grams, (10.71 Dwt). Measurements: 38 mm by 20 mm (1.50 x 0.79 Inches) and raise 10 mm over the finger. Size: 7.5 and may be sized on special request. Hallmarks: Stamped with maker's mark, two Japanese characters and the mark for the assay of the yellow gold. Very good conditions.
