>>>SILVER•FAUNA<<<
The silver section of Eastern Winds, inspired by the fauna of the Savannah. You can't have an ode to Eastern Africa without showcasing the wildlife that makes the lands feel so full and rich. Excited to share with you these creatures less celebrated, but endlessly deserving! 🐅🌞✨
 
The "migration" pieces.  These pieces were not part of the initial sketches for Eastern Winds, they evolved to be part of the collection now that my skills have grown. I left Kenya + Tanzania with -one single tooth- from a Wildebeest, the animal who we went to see migrate back and forth across those treacherous waters! So thrilled to be able to turn that tooth into SOLID fine silver for these pieces.
 
For the ring, I have set a central piece of Raw Tanzanian Sunstone in a double, fine silver bezel, with a stamped pattern around it. With a solid fine silver Wildebeest tooth on one side, and curved stamped sterling silver rays, to mimic those from the sun, and sterling silver ball details, framing the other three sides. Set upon a double half round sterling band, with beaded wire in the center.
 
The ring pendant measures  1 1/2" tall and 1 1/4" wide.
It is a ring size 8 - 8 1/4.
