An organically shaped solid silver ring made from silver clay (PMC3) and includes two 24 carat gold 'dots' inlayed at the ends.  This ring size is (8).
These two hollow-form rings are adorned with lapis lazuli. These rings are also reliquaries, in which vibhuthi overlaid with gold leaf can be found. Lapis lazuli, loosely translated means 'blue stone'.  It is still mined 6000 years later from the same mines in which it was discovered, in the area formerly known as Babylon.  Lapis lazuli was also symbolic of truth (Ma) in ancient Egypt. Vibhuthi is an ash that has spiritual and healing qualities.  It is ash either manifested or blessed by Sai Baba.  The Sai Baba, formally known as 'Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba', who is believed by many to be a Loving Divinity, gives it to people to heal them. I have combined the ancient lapis lazuli with the mystical vibhuthi ash to inspire magic and wonder in all those who handle these rings.  These rings are size (10 1/2).
