Can you even believe this ring?! I couldn't quite comprehend that this piece of art was once on a garment a hundred years ago. This ring was made with a gorgeous antique button from the late 1800s (probably made in China or Japan, as most Asian inspired buttons were at the time). It is a beautiful golden brass with a gray patina background. Lovely bamboo leaves sway behind a tiny framed scene of the Buddha meditating in a pagoda. This is so detailed that you can even see the tiny smile of peace upon the Buddha's face.
