Juniper ring

Juniper is an old symbol of protection, used in many folk traditions for purifying the air from disease and evil spirits, most notably during the Black Death in the 14th century. The symbolism likely originated with a Bible story, where the prophet Elijah takes refuge from his enemies under a juniper tree. 

This ring was made by casting a real sprig of juniper in silver. Each one is completely unique! See the pictures for the variety you can expect. The juniper comes in a shadowbox-style setting with a darkened background.
