Silver, not platedThis is one of only two rings we carry in genuine silver rather than plated steel, and the difference is visible immediately.Silver is denser than stainless steel, so the ring feels more substantial for the same dimensions. It is also softer, which allows deeper undercuts and finer modelling in a sculpted head. On a piece like this the difference shows in the fur and around the muzzle.The head faces forward over the finger and a loose ring hangs from the muzzle, free to swing. The band either side carries an engraved panel, darkened in the recesses in the same way.Silver behaves differentlyIt tarnishes, and that is not a fault. Oxidation darkens the recesses and leaves the high points bright, which makes the carving read more strongly over time. Most owners deliberately leave it.A soft cloth restores brightness when you want it. Chlorine is the one real enemy, so take it off before a swimming pool.Specification Solid silver Sculpted wolf head Size 60mm Silver can be resized by a jeweller, unlike steel.
