Illustrated and described in "Kevin Coates, A Hidden Alchemy. Goldsmithing: Jewels and Table-Pieces", Stuttgart, 2008, No 403. 'Fire-Frog (Rabber-Dazzle)' illustrated in the same publication, No 297.

This ring was specially commissioned after the theft of the original 'Fire-Frog (Rabber-Dazzle)' ring, made in 1998, hence this ring's joking title.

The fire frog's natural habitat is the West African savannah, where the characteristic colour serves as camouflage, in this case through the fire-agate back. Capturing the moment just before take off, this ring is intended to be enjoyed both on and off the finger.
