The Bone Ring design is inspired by Clarissa Pinkola Estés 'Skeleton Woman' story from Women Who Run With the Wolves.

The story is one of my favorite of all time - an Inuit story, it explores the Life/Death/Life cycle in all things in nature and love.

The Life/Death/Life nature is a cycle of animation, development, decline, and death that is always followed by re-animation. This cycle affects all physical life and all facets of psychological life. Everything — the sun, novas, and the moon, as well as the affairs of humans and those of the tiniest creatures, cells and atoms alike — have this fluttering, then faltering, then fluttering again. - CPE
