This ring represents a Chinese folktale! It depicts a phoenix on the left and a dragon on the right, flanking a shining pearl. There are several iterations of the story to be found online and in libraries, but in summary, its a tale about a phoenix and a dragon who find a shining, magical pearl together and dedicate themselves to protecting it. In Chinese legend, the phoenix and the dragon are two of four guardian spirits, including the tortoise and the tiger, and are symbolic counterparts, often depicted as two sides of the same coin.
