[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2912986, member: 2844"]Hi Bou.:) Love the ring, and I think you may have something special. I have no proof, but I am just looking at the combination of what makes up your ring. Just a theory. So, are you sitting down?:playful: It looks like it could be a personalized 'Indo ring'. Indo rings are rings with talismanic stones, worn in Indonesia. Most Indo rings are brass, but they can be other metals. The most important thing is the stone. In Indonesian terms, the stone in your ring is a 'pirus Abdul Razak'. Pirus is Indonesian for turquoise. The most sought after turquoise is the stone with a gold matrix, the pirus Abdul Razak. In general, pirus is said to bring inner peace, ward off evil, and bring good luck. The pirus Abdul Razak is thought to have the extra quality of making the wearer loved by everyone.:happy: If your ring is an Indo ring, it is highly personalized. In such cases, the owner would consult a 'Dukun', an Indonesian Shaman, who would tell him which stone to use and which symbols should be on the ring. The ring would have been made by a Shamanic jewellery maker. If you feel there is gold in the alloy, it could be a special alloy, made specifically for this purpose. On the Indonesian islands of Java, Madura and Bali, the alchemy of metals is part of Shamanism. The animal on the inside is there for the wearer only, no one else can see it. It is like a Shamanic power animal. The animal looks like a Madura bull to me, a cross between local wild banteng cattle and zebus from Sri Lanka. Many have a hump, like a zebu has. Here is a statuette of a Madurese bull racer (don't look that up :nailbiting:). I think the shape and posture of the animal on the inside of your ring resembles these bulls.
