Wolves have many symbolic meanings across cultures and throughout history, including strength, guidance, and the untamed natural world.  In Irish mythology wolves are associated with bravery, loyalty, protection and guidance. The Irish word for wolf is mac tire, which means “Son of the Land”. The Morrigan, an Irish goddess of battle and fate, was said to take the form of a red-furred wolf.  In First Nations in North America, Wolves are often revered as spiritual guides, ancestral figures, and symbols of the natural world and are respected for their hunting skills, loyalty, and strong family ties.  Crafted in brass with a heavy layer of Rhodium which is an anti-tarnish finish, so should keep its shine and not irritate the skin.  Stunning!  Circumference of 16mm.  UK size N  US size 5.5  Fully adjustable.
