Description: This hair work ring is full of moving symbolism.  The two doves or love birds have are each holding one end of a string which has a love knot tied in the middle of it.  Note the "withered" rose to the right of the tomb.  The detail is superb in this piece...you can even see the thorns on the rose.  The light blonde hair is applied to either ivory or porcelain.  The setting is 9kt. rose gold.
