Featured Want to know about Chinese hallmarks on ring.

    This gold signet ring was passed down the family from my grandfather to my dad (when my parents were married) and now to me.

    The ring is 22kt gold (there’s a hallmark hidden underneath the dragon, which I saw when the top panel fell off one day before my dad had it fixed) but I’m more curious about the two marks punched into the underside of the band.

    can anybody tell me what they are?

    Much appreciated!!

    :joyful:
    Modernist.
    Head on the right, with two picasso-esque eyes. Body curling over head to the left, one rudimentary claw sticking out the side. Dragon tail on the left, with another rudimentary claw.

    Cannot read the right mark.
    The left one reads as "SHUN" (well & smooth), I believe it's a retailer mark.
