Sinuous and silent, a rattlesnake coils its slender body into a ring by Francisco Sanchez. To Mexico's Huichol people, serpents are middlemen between people and the spirit world. Rattlesnakes are respected as the tongue of Tatewari, the Fire God. The Rain Goddess is often symbolized by the serpent as rain itself, a great coiled serpent or storm clouds from which millions of tiny snakes represent rainfall. The artisan pays tribute to Huichol belief with this handcrafted sterling silver wrap ring. The artisan stamps his work Citlali, meaning "Star" in the Nahuatl language.

"Too Long & I have Long Fingers"
I was hoping this ring would be a bit more dainty. The ring is pretty long, so it extended over my middle finger knuckle as well as the knuckle on my hand. It wasnt uncomfortable, but the ring kept shifting in an awkward way, so if I wanted to keep it in the position that I liked I would have to constantly be repositioning it.

"Gorgeous Ring"
What a beautiful ring! It looks gorgeous on every finger and with the snakes head either going up your finger or in the direction of your hand. Truly incredible. You can wear it to any occasion.
