A signature piece from Vaune Mason, the Bear Hug ring is an open ring, hand crafted in solid bronze, with silver claws. This design is a favourite among admirers of Vaune's work, and suits every gender.
Vaune Mason is based on the gorgeous Kāpiti Coast. Her detailed carved animals are most often reproduced in glowing bronze and silver, and every now and then, in recycled native timbers, stone or bone. Vaune also loves to make beautiful be-jewelled pieces that look worthy of a treasure hunters' hoard. Her inspiration comes from the things that surround her in nature. Her style is strong, archaic and feminine.
Please note these rings are a little harder than usual to size because they're an open band style. However, if the ring is not fitting as you wish we are very happy to tweak the size for you.
