Solid silver ring, shank with widening shoulder, the bezel deeply engraved with a grasshopper on a ear of wheat, an ant above. The scene appears to be a reference to one of the most popular Aesop's Fables, The Ant and the Grasshopper. The grasshopper was believed to bring good luck. It was a sign of abundance, that you were on the right track and you were taking the right moves for you and your future. It was a sign of a new beginning or transformation because of the actions you took.
