Cupule Ring with Pearl size 6.5

Cast from a naturally formed cupule stone, this one of a kind ring is ode to the natural beauty of nature. In the center of the silver cupule is a pearl set in a claw like setting.
Size 6.5

This stone reminded me of an ancient cupule. It also resembles a sea shell with its pearl held within or a nest and egg.

I’ve long had a fascination with ancient cupules. Cupules are one of the most ancient and widespread forms of rock art known to archaeology. They are the most widespread human made formation found all over the world.

Working as an archaeologist, I would often, and still do, come across small cupules created by the native people. They were also used for possible ceremonial uses, marking direction, and grinding small herbs.
I often sit and try to imagine what them being formed meticulously by pounding the stone repeatedly. Still when I find them, I get extremely excited.

Pearls symbolize purity and innocence, wisdom from experience, and femininity and the moon
