IS THERE A SECRET WITHIN THIS SIGNED STUDIO RING?

Years back while exhibiting a similar piece, a five year old future Neurosurgeon was heard to remark, 'look mother, a brain ring!'

When one approaches a studio piece that is meant to not look at all like a commercial jewelry store item, it can be  fun following the will of the hand of the metal artist and usually that of the wire, as the latter is known to often have a will of its own. 

An approximate six foot length of 14 gauge sterling silver was used to form this "brain" dome ring sculpture, from one continuous piece, starting at one shoulder and ending at the other.

Now for the little secret.  Fine art collectors know that painters are known to hide symbols in their paintings, this one does, why not hide a little something inside this ring too?  What's the secret?

An embedded Moonstone!  The dreamy milky white changes to blue flashes, as in this case, are known as adularescence.  This Orthoclase Feldspar, a 6-6.5% on Moh's scale, is the good luck stone especially for lovers. During uncertian times, is it not best to make up with and find comfort in the presence of those who love us?  It is said to give one the ability to foretell our lover's future, as legend tells it, it must be placed in the mouth while the moon is full to achieve this wondrous feat.  It is then when it will be most powerful for you!

If someone catches you placing this moonstone ring in your mouth during full moon next, look at them and say, "whaaat, you don't do this?"
