Wolf Sterling Silver + Gold Ammolite Ring
Carrie Matilpi
This unique sterling silver ring includes two Wolf crests on a heavily stippled background, facing a featured ammolite gemstone set in 14k gold. Ammolite gemstones are a rare iridescent, organic gemstone found only in the Eastern Rocky Mountains of Canada.
The Wolf crest represents intelligence and leadership, a strong sense of family, ritual, spirit and guardianship.
