4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Well, I'm still hesitant to use "plaque" for something as small as a ring, but LisaMac's link refers to a Nebaj piece, so I'll award you the points, Cesar. Thanks for the help!"

Note from asker:
Thanks, M-Martin for your help. I am still considering your answer, but LisaMac's link in Cesar's answer leads to a piece done in the same style, so for now, I'll go with that.
