Such a unique ring that capture's a monkey's playfulness!
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 monkey's hands, too. One is underneath the monkey's 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 monkey's 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.
