These Black Bear Teeth, molded and then cast immortal in Sterling Silver, are based on tale #161 of the Brother's Grimm of 'Snow-White & Rose-Red' and their encounter of a bewitched bear who turns into a prince.

The tale focuses on the generosity & kindness of two girls towards a bear who visits them nightly during the winter to warm himself by the fire. After an evil dwarf who had stolen the prince's gold is killed by the bear, the curse is broken, and he is returned to his human form. The prince goes on to marry Snow-White, while his brother marries Rose-Red. The idea of loving a bear who is also a man seemed enthralling to me so i set about creating a ring that reflected this tale.
