Fast Facts: An elephant usually has five hooved toes on each forefoot and four on each hind foot. The sole of the elephant's foot is covered with a thick, cushion like padding that helps sustain weight, prevents slipping and deadens sound. When they need to, elephants can walk almost silently.  When they walk, the legs on one side of the body move forward in unison. ]]> Even though it is not as large in size, this smaller version of the African Elephant ring looses nothing in its detail.  Measuring approximately 5/8 inch in length it is also available in 14 carat gold - please contact us for pricing.

Fast Facts: The tusks of the elephant are greatly elongated incisors and about one-third of their total length lies hidden inside the skull.  The largest tusk ever recorded weighed 214 pounds and was 138 inches long.  Over the years hunters and poachers have taken the animals with the largest tusks and as a result tusks of this size are not found on elephants in Africa today. Because the tusk size is an inherited characteristic it is rare to find one now that would weigh more than 100 pounds.  The tusks grow for most of an elephant's lifetime and are an indicator of age. ]]> The compliments will be plentiful whenever you wear this stunning Sterling Silver African Elephant ring  It measures 7/8 inch from the top of the ears to the tip of the trunk. Also available in 14 carat gold - please contact us for pricing.
