Its defining form, an almost-complete ring with a long pin, has endured for more than two thousand years. This sterling silver example brings that ancient tradition forward with rich ornamental detail: Celtic knotwork bands the ring and zoomorphic heron figures are carved in relief on both faces. Measuring 4 inches pin-to-tip with a 3 1\/8-inch ring diameter, it carries the presence of the original form while remaining a practical fastener for tartan or shawl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMATERIALS \u0026amp; CRAFTSMANSHIP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHandcrafted in sterling silver at Walker Metalsmiths in Andover, NY.
