Of Skulls and Black Diamonds…

I've always had a fixation with skulls. For the longest time I've been looking for a skull ring or bracelet but have always found designs too kitschy or commercial. Till I met the guys at 13 Lucky Monkey. They do a good job hand carving these rings themselves and casting them to exacting details. I liked this Catherine ring and it sort of ended up like a collaboration piece. I got the skull ring cast in silver. I had the oxidization stripped. Had the eyes filled out in black diamond pave and then electroplated the whole thing in black rhodium to give it that lustrous dark grey finish. Nice and spooky.

But this ring is staying on me till after Halloween and will be part of my appendage soon enough. I think I see another collaboration in sight.
