The reading
Two porcupines face one another across the opening of a sterling silver wrap ring, their textured backs contrasting with smooth noses.
The approaching faces remain distinct from the prickly surfaces behind them, suggesting that tenderness need not require giving up the boundaries that help a person feel secure.
How to wear it
The symbol
Their tiny feet rest beneath rounded bodies while their noses nearly meet. The encounter is modest and close, not an image of one creature overwhelming the other, giving affection the scale
The material
Sterling Silver forms both animals and the smooth connecting band. Closely patterned backs and polished faces create different kinds of contact in one metal, allowing guardedness and warmth to belong to the same figure.
