Howl at the Moon Spurs

Growing up there wasn’t anything that scared me anymore than hearing a close coyote sing their song.  Each one has a different tune that could send me under the covers in a ball.  Today their howling creates a different emotion in me.  It represents a resilience and determination to survive regardless of the changes the environment offers.  The coyote is a survivor and adapts to whatever is going on around them.  One of my favorite animals without question.  I sculpted the coyote in 14k gold with relief engraved sterling silver overlays surrounding it.  The rowels have fine silver inlays on curved tines representing the ever changing journey that we all travel.

As a child, nothing sent me diving under the covers faster than the haunting song of a nearby coyote. Each one had a distinct tune, striking fear deep in my bones. But today, their howls evoke something entirely different—resilience and determination. The coyote is a master of survival, adapting to every challenge the environment throws its way. Without a doubt, it’s one of my favorite animals.

To honor that spirit, I sculpted the coyote in 14k gold, framed by relief-engraved sterling silver overlays. The rowels feature fine silver inlays on curved tines, symbolizing the ever-changing journey we all navigate.
