Moon Elk – 14K Gold Ring, size 11
This one-of-a-kind ring was designed and casted in 14K gold. The Elk detail was carved in silver relief then lost-cast wax was formed and poured in 18K gold to form a setting for ivory center piece.
Additionally, highlighting streams of 24K California gold nuggets personally collected are embedded in this ring. This makes an indigenous connection to Earth while making this art piece the most extravagant, lavish and intoxicating ring I’ve created so far.
