This striking ring pairs a carved wooden face with a solid silver mount. The head is elongated and oval, with a deep black-brown tone and a smooth, softly polished surface that lets the carved features stand out: almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, defined lips, and a calm, steady expression. A fine silver border frames the face, while the heavy silver shank rises broadly at the shoulders and continues in a solid, even width toward the back, giving the ring both balance and presence.
On the hand, it sits like a small sculpture. Bold, direct, and slightly mysterious, it has the kind of character that carries a simple outfit on its own. A ring for days when one piece is enough.
