A customer was good enough to send me a photograph of her ring being worn. An Eagle ring with her grandmother’s princess-cut diamond

In ancient times, Raven and Mink met for the first time. Both being tricksters, they soon became friends. One day, they came to the sea & a whale took them, inside his mouth, & transported them to the mainland. The whale died enroute & they eventually washed up in front of a village. The villagers butchered the whale for its meat; Raven & Mink were released & they bolted into the forest.

-      Whale bracelet, silver with an abalone shell eye.
