1970s silver "reindeer moss" modernist Ring
I always loved "reindeer moss" jewelry and I expected, when I would finally get one, that it would hail from Finland. Little did I know that it would actually come from the other end of the world. But here it is, magically exotic, reminiscent of ancient forests, with trees dripping in the cool mist, their floors soft with fallen leaves and pine needles. There is something very serene about this ring, something that creates the feeling of brushing against Nature's ancient shoulder as one embarks on a journey to reconnect with her...
Size / Weight: sz 6.25 US (easily resizable by your jeweler); face is 1 1/16" N-S by 3/4" E-W; rise of approx. 5/8"; 6.8 grams
