This was a custom ring for a beautiful woman in the US who provided me with a piece of Elk antler she wanted to work with that we cut and cabbed in a way to keep its natural markings. We wrapped the Elk piece in Elder leaves creating a powerful talisman of protection and transmutation. 

*this is a past piece. I don't have any Elk pieces but we can make this style of ring with another stone.

Elder - Sambucus nigra 

Elder is the teacher in the ways of the forest, medicine, energy of the seasons, the cycles, boundaries and structures that move. A remembrance within our hearts and minds; she grew by the front gate of every home, watching over like a loving mother. She helps us see beyond the physical structures of the world and into the spirit. She is highly protective, teaching us that to be, we must derive power from within; to be of this world is to be in this world.

Elder is nurturing, transformational and cleansing; "with Nature, I transform my world."
