Ring with Moon Face Motif

The little moon face has a slightly crooked nose and a lot of charm.

This fossil mammoth tusk and sterling silver ring with a moon face motif is contemporary. Fossil mammoth ivory is a mineralized material that is carved and polished for jewelry, and its surface shows a distinctive grain pattern. In the photo, a carved cream face with wide eyes, a dot on the brow and a faintly lopsided nose. A thick, segmented frame in aged bright metal surrounds it, with chunky shoulders. The metal shows darker toning in the grooves.

Wonky in the best way, and gazing straight ahead.
