The Wolf Carnelian Ring is a stone-set ring in 925 sterling silver built around a deep red carnelian, with a wolf carved in relief on the metal at either side of the stone. The carnelian is the only color on the piece, and the wolf is worked in enough detail to separate strands of fur from the muscle beneath.The animal is drawn in the manner of a heraldic beast, a shield emblem rather than a portrait of a living wolf, which gives the ring its formal weight. The wolf stands for loyalty, intelligence and the strength of a pack, worn as a symbol rather than as a religious piece.
