Night Swimming - Ring

Description

Underwater lights shine into the ocean off the coast of the Big Island after dark, attracting plankton and other little organisms that magnificent manta rays like to snack on.

If you're lucky enough, you can have your very own dinner party with these giant, graceful creatures. They loop through the water with their mouths open wide to scoop up as many of the little guys as possible. Sometimes they ever so slightly brush you as they near the surface in one of their backflips, but usually they keep just enough space between you and them. Their wingspans are sometimes 13 feet...sometimes even larger, and to come within reach of a group of them is incredible, to say the least.

The deep blue of this blue tiger's eye reminds me of the night waters and the sleek and beautiful manta rays that inhabit them. A faint yellow streak runs through the top left of the stone, just like the lights shining into the Pacific. 4 sea urchin pebbles cling to the side of the ring to frame the stone. The ring shank is a lightly hammered band made from thick sterling wire. The entire piece is heavily textured and has been oxidized and brushed for depth. It is comfy and substantial and I don't want to take it off once I have it on!

One of a Kind.

Size is between a 7.5 and 7.75, not resizable.
