Sand Cast Sterling Silver Wolf Pack Ring

This unique ring features four sand-cast hand-tooled wolves standing in a pack, looking outward together. The rippled, polished edge creates a beautifully framed vignette contrasted in black patina leading into three polished and raised stars on each side of the band.

Sand casting is a technique invented by Navajo silversmiths sometime between 1840 and 1860, whereby molten silver is poured into a mold carved into sandstone. It is a labor-intensive, hands-on process taking around three days from start to finish. The molds can only be used a few times before they are ruined by the heat from the molten metal.
