Hard carved here in NYC , this beautiful octopus tentacle ring is completely unique. I cast these in small batches to keep the quality level high. The spiral shows up in many aspects of the sea . It reminds me of the curl of a wave , in the tip of a sea shell and so on.

Specs : The ring is cast in .925 reclaimed pure sterling silver. It is 13mm wide and 1.7 mm thick.

This listing is for the oxidized black silver version. A polished version is also available (pictured in the last shot.)

I have my own long standing relationship with the octopus. from We would play games with each other in the tide pools in the back country of the Florida Keys when I lived on my sailboat. More than once the game would end with me getting ink in my eye.

I also found out that they are the most intelligent sea creatures. They have both short and long term memory and they can open a screw top jar to get inside!

Every other invertebrate registers as static on an EEG. An Octopus generates the kind of slow looping patterns you'd see in a dog or maybe even a primate.

The Hawaiʻian creation myth relates that the present cosmos is only the last of a series, having arisen in stages from the wreck of the previous universe. In this account, the octopus is the lone survivor of the previous, alien universe.

Kanaloa - The Hawaiian Creator, the equivalent of Tangaroa from Maori myths. He is also the god of the underworld, who can teach magic. He appears in the shape of an octopus.

They learn. They remember things. They make plans. They play.
