Japanese Overlay Ginkgo Ring with Hand-Stamped and Filed Shank

This contemporary ring, inspired by a Japanese ginkgo Kamon symbol, features hand stamping, filing, and overlay. The Ginkgo tree is a symbol of longevity in Asia because it can live for a thousand years. The tree represents profound endurance in Japan because four Ginkgo trees survived the atomic blast at Hiroshima and continue to grow to this day.

Hand-crafted from high-quality sterling silver sheet and square wire, this lightweight ring is approximately a ring size of 7. Its weight is roughly 13 grams, or .46 ounces. Patina finish.
