Indonesian Ring with Chiten Shell

Seen from the side, this ribbed ring looks like a small wedge of storm.

This ring with a chiten shell and sterling silver from Bali is from Bali, Indonesia. A ring of this kind generally has a shaped silver band with a bezel or prongs that hold the shell stone in place. Heavy ring with a rough, crusted grey surface that swells into a thick wedge-shaped top. A sliver of ribbed material sits in the crest, its fine lines fanning out in brown and cream.

Rugged by design and proud of every pit.
