This is the most adorable ring! Nyoman Rena has captured the playfulness of the monkey in the design -- the monkey is bright-eyed, and has a happy smile. Love the positioning of the monkeys hands, too. One is underneath the monkeys chin, and the other is curved upward next to his face, in front of his ear -- so, typical of monkeys, he is assuming a silly pose, and clowning a bit. The ring has depth and dimension too. The monkeys fur texturing was carved into the original wax sculpt, so you can actually feel it on the silver end product as well. Although not a large ring (in scale) it has a nice, solid weight to it. It makes me smile whenever I look down at my hand.

I was looking for the perfect Hanuman pendant. I gifted this to my brother who loved it. When I opened the package I was amazed at how intricate and detailed it was while being small. After a couple of months, it still remains shiny and intact. Love this piece, made a great valuable and affordable present!

I love this little guy. He has a way of making one happy when you look at him. The ring is comfortable to wear and inquiries are many.
