Vintage, cloisonné on repousse sterling silver ring featuring a magnificent Chinese Phoenix bird. Size 6&3/4 but adjustable, tapered, wrapped band. Face is 3/4". Tested as 950 silver content. Some age showing with a little wear to the enamel in spots and naturally occurring patina. I've had it since the 70's but I suspect it is much older. A symbol of virtue and grace, this mythological bird also symbolizes the union of yin and yang and is often used in traditional Chinese wedding decorations.

Hello just wondering how you test the silver do you take it to someone for testing or do an at home acid test?

@daunaisvintage @daunaisvintage Hi, I do not test at home. I take it to my jeweler, he acid tests. For really perplexing pieces like this one I go to my history buff, mcm design fanatic, gemologist pawn shop owner. He also acid tests but has one of those specialty x-ray machines that reveal exact metal content. I am lucky to have him, he helps me a lot.
