Media:  sterling silver, garnet, sapphires, mother of pearl
Dimensions:  30 mm x 15 mm
Date of Work:  10-7-07

This was made to celabrate the Day of the Dead . Using bone white mother of pearl I carved the center crest and set two Blue Sapphires for eyes . The Ring's Sterling Silver setting has a 1/2 CT Blood Garnet on one side and Musical Swirls on the symphony of Death Conductor's stand the other. Old-world belief of the stones. Sapphires are traditionally connected with the eye also they were thought to render black magic harmless. Garnets for obvious reasons they are connected with blood and are believed protect the wearer from evil and terrifying dreams. Silver is often called the moon metal linked to nighttime and offers protection from evil. Well, if it really works this ring should protect the wearer from any untold evil lurking on the day of the dead. If not just peace of mind .........MUOOOO HA HAHAA HAAAA.
