A gold giraffe figurine wraps a large faceted amber stone in this cocktail ring — the animal's head and tail meeting above and below the stone, its body forming the structure of the setting. The amber stone is faceted and large enough to dominate the face of the ring; the giraffe is the mount that holds it. The shank is openwork with milgrain border detail, providing architectural interest at the finger without adding bulk. The underside reveals an open setting base with the same milgrain treatment. A ring that combines a figurative element with a substantial stone, each serving the other — the stone gives the giraffe purpose; the giraffe gives the stone character.
