The ring itself was a simple ruby that was meant to honor her Asian roots. Chan is American-Chinese and in the Asian community the ruby is held in high esteem and is said to represent passion and love and is often considered to be a sign of wisdom. Rubies were one used to decorate the armor and harnesses of Chinese nobleman and are even buried beneath the foundations of some buildings in Asiato to help bring good fortune to the building it is placed under.
