This Sterling Silver and Abalone Signet Ring with Orca or Killerwhale design was hand-carved by Chris Cook from the Kwakwaka'wakw Nation. The ring is 3/4 of an inch or 2 centimeters wide in the front and tapers down to about 1/4 of an inch or 3/4 of a centimeter in the back.

The Orca or Killer Whale symbolizes family, romance, longevity, harmony, travel, community and protection. He is said to protect those who travel away from home, and to lead them back when the time comes. Orcas will often stay their whole life with the same pod and raise each calf with care.
