An Elk Ivory and Diamond Mushroom Ring

Jacob's ring sets elk ivory in 18k gold, surrounded by leaves and mushrooms carved in wax so that every space is filled.

A row of diamonds runs along the ivory. After casting, Carol chased and refined the detail by hand. Jacob wrote that it has a nice masculine weight, and that he was glad he chose the diamonds.
