Shark Vertebrae Ring in Vermeil

For decades, Gogo Ferguson has been designing bold, sculptural jewelry inspired by the beauty of the Cumberland Island coast, and her pieces have picked up a devoted, insider-y, “if you know, you know”-type following along the way. The line is both sophisticated and wild, exquisitely crafted yet not too fussy, and made exclusively in Cumberland Island, Georgia, where Gogo's family has lived for generations. This ring is cast in vermeil from the cylindrical cartilaginous spine of a shark (try saying that five times fast,) which has been used as adornment by indigenous people for thousands of years.
