Wear it alone or as a centerpiece to a hand of rings - the square is such a strong shape, and is perfectly enhanced here in this .925 Sterling Silver, Spiny Oyster Ring. This Spiny Oyster ring is perfectly unisex, with a minimal, .925 Sterling Silver Split Shank and Bright Orange Spiny Oyster centerpiece cabochon.

Spiny Oyster was used by Native American artists to make inlays in fine jewelry. It comes from the shell of the bivalve mollusk, Spondylus varius. Like many other bivalve mollusks, the soft, meaty interior of Spondylus is edible, so the Spiny Oyster’s valued for its hard, outer shell as well as its interior meat. Despite its name, the Spiny Oyster’s much more closely related to the scallop than to the true oyster.
