Antique Chinese 24k Gold Jade Ring

This fascinating antique Chinese ring has been fashioned in pure 24k gold, centering upon a spring green jade lozenge-shaped cabochon with milky mottling. The gold work is luscious and thick, almost like frosting piped onto a cake. The weighty ring mounting has been so beautifully worn that it has been rendered abstract, where once there would have been intricate organic details. What remains is an evocative sculptural masterpiece such that only time and the human hand could co-create.
