This is a striking 19th-century Qing dynasty archer’s thumb ring, hand-carved from natural nephrite jade. It weighs 38 grams and measures approximately 1.2 inches (30mm) in diameter, with an inner opening of about 0.9 inches (23mm)—ideal for display or wear.
The coloration is exceptional: a deep, vibrant mix of blue and green, with mottled natural inclusions and flowing patterns throughout. The ring shows excellent polish and moderate translucency under strong light, with no UV fluorescence—confirming its authenticity and untreated state.
Thumb rings like this were traditionally worn by Manchu archers for protection and later adopted as symbols of status and masculinity during the Qing dynasty (1644–1912). This piece likely dates to the late 1800s, during the twilight of the Qing era.
An outstanding collector’s item, perfect for connoisseurs of Chinese antiques, jade enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a rare, wearable piece of history.
Weight: 38g
Material: Natural nephrite jade
