    Was going through some of my junk jewelry and found this ring again. I suspect it to be some sort of Chinese trade silver? I can't decipher the mark but hopefully someone here can! It is quite a cool looking ring and I am not sure why I put it in my junk bin!! I think it is a dragon...

    It isn't Chinese Export Silver, which is probably what you meant by trade silver.:)
    It was made for the local Chinese market, and a charming guardian lion, as kyra said.
    I don't recognize the mark as a silver mark, it is probably a provincial maker's mark.

    Guesstimate a few decades, not very old. Just a genuine Chinese ring, with guaranteed protection for the wearer.;)
