Stamped Rectangular Spiny Oyster Shield Ring by Ruth Ann Begay

Spiny oyster is a sustainable byproduct collected by diving to collect the shells of bivalve mollusks that live in the warm waters of the Gulf of California on the Baja Peninsula and thrive from North Carolina to Brazil. It’s found in white, pink, yellow, orange, red, purple, and a pleasing brown, with a depth of interesting striation; it adds a breathtaking contrast when paired with other stones. Spiny oyster comes in many shades, ranging from pale peach to very deep red. 

Here surrounded by a flat, hand-stamped setting, a rectangular baguette of spiny oyster flashes orangey-red. This simple, classic ring is perfect for stacking with others or wearing alone.
