Neighborhood x Masa Sculp F/W 2012 collection produced two [chunky gold-plated men's rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frye-x-aurate) influenced by Native American heritage. One ring features the protruding face of an Indian chief wearing a ceremonial head garb; the other is the heroic and powerful frame of an eagle ready to take flight.

The rings are solidly made out of silver and then dipped into gold. Aside from the main image on the face of the ring, there are [slight engravings on the band](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-wedding-bands) to fit in with the Native aesthetic. On the inside, "Neighborhood" is engraved at the top of the metal to keep in line with the piece's branding.

The Neighborhood x Masa Sculp F/W 2012 men's rings come enclosed in a small clear box with black velvet propping them up for display.
