Snail Ring
Material: Sterling Silver
Design: I designed this little guy to honor one of the many species of snails that hangs around in my garden. This particular species of snail is the 'Bradybaena similaris’, a small invasive snail from Asia. The photo op pic with the live snail features an African snail, 'Otala lactea'. I have many other snail designs in the works utilizing the varying shapes of shells from other species, so if you are into snails, make sure to follow for updates on instagram: @JamieSpinello
I have been making Ammonite designs for a few years now and I have always been asked if they were snails. Ammonites were the prehistoric mollusk marine ancestors of terrestrial snails and predate snails by about 400 million years.

These rings are slightly adjustable, so you can adjust it a little after you receive it. Note how I can open the snake up longer if desired (as shown with the picture of the golden bronze snake).
If you have a preference for it to be shorter or longer, please be sure to add your preference to the notes section during checkout.
Many species of snakes are given an unwarranted bad reputation and non-venomous species are killed for no other reason other than fear and ignorance. Snakes are integral to our ecosystem and an attribute to any garden. I made this cuff to honor all of the beauty of all the wonderful non venomous snakes that are often found around the garden. Read up on non venomous snakes in your area to familiarize yourself with their patterns and features to avoid killing a harmless species.

The snake is an ancient symbol of strength, wisdom and fertility in the mediterranean and was often a symbol that was worn as an adornment. Ancient practices and themes have always piqued my interest and have influenced my aesthetic in both my designs and drawings.
