This extraordinary contemporary poison ring features a peacefully sleeping face carved from white buffalo bone, surrounded by intricate silver scrollwork, twisted rope detailing, and ornate sculptural accents.
The carved face opens to reveal a secret compartment beneath, a nod to the centuries-old tradition of poison rings, once used to conceal tiny treasures, keepsakes, and other secrets.
With its elaborate craftsmanship and dreamlike expression, this piece feels like an ancient artifact reimagined for the present.
Part sculpture, part secret keeper. A little strange. A little beautiful.
Materials: Silver setting with a carved white buffalo bone face.
Style: Contemporary poison ring with a hinged hidden compartment.
A collection of strange and beautiful pieces I’ve discovered along the way. As an artist, I’ve always been drawn to the work of other makers. The unusual, the imperfect, the things that feel like they have a story to tell.
Artist Findings is a small collection of pieces I’ve personally collected, admired, or discovered over the years. Some are vintage, some are by artists I know personally, and others are by makers whose names have been lost along the way.
Each piece was chosen because it’s something I would want in my own collection. And I thought you might appreciate them too.
