The hognose snake is many things, and subtle is not one of them. All bluff and drama, that upturned snout raised like a dare. Hognose Rising captures one mid-performance, pressed into copper using an antique impression die and hand fabricated, its scales alive with a hand-applied iridescent patina that shifts from deep copper to a rainbow depending on the light. A faceted smoky quartz cabochon is set in a copper bezel where the snake meets the copper hanging ring, grounding all that color in something dark and still. Hung on an 18" black leather cord, ready to wear.
