Grit
The black rhino is featured as Grit for unwavering and persistence to survive. The black rhino like all other rhino species is hunted for their horns which are depicted as diamond dusted textured solid silver horns on the pendant. These horns serve no purpose in medical science literature, hence its feature as the less valuable metal. This massive modern-day dinosaur is built like a tank but it is simply a herbivore (Vegan in human terms). The rhino population is making a comeback due to anti-poaching efforts and grit. A noted feature is the hook lip which is a key feature for the black rhino which is different than the white (wide mouth) rhino. Grit population approximately 5,500.* The silver collar has five 2.5 mm and the eye is 3.0 mm diamonds which is totaling about 0.41 ct.** $3,881.00
There maybe noticeable differences in each piece due to the handcrafted nature, however each difference represents a uniqueness in your piece. Please do not pre-polish as it will take the facet away performed by the scalpel blade and the uniqueness.
*Population is approximate based on different searches. The population is the amount of each piece available in Series One. Limiting the piece based on the population allows us to emphasize the rarity of the animal and maintain the value in Series One.
