A Modern Memento Mori in Sterling Silver

• Material: Solid 925 Sterling Silver
• Origin: Handcrafted and produced in the UK

There is no shortage of gothic skull rings on the market, but several years into creating my own jewellery didn’t fill the void: I still needed one of my own.

I wanted a skull that wasn’t a hard-edged, dyed-in-the-wool, metal-come-Camden Lock rocker bone face, but I also didn’t want a too-cute grin strapped to my finger.

I landed somewhere else, I hope, with an ever so slightly flattened top as if the cap might have been sawn off. I kept the profile low because I’m a reckless egg and wear my jewellery to death, so I needed a skull that I could wear everywhere, all the time. Mine comes to the gym with me and regularly gets wrangled in and out of a wetsuit. Still: she persists and does not snag on a sleeve, neoprene or knit.

Carved by hand in my UK studio, this skull ring has been cast in 925 sterling silver and oxidised to make those eyes extra hollow.

Designed to be worn every day, this piece features a solid, weighty but not chunky feel and a smooth, comfortable band.

Each ring is unique, bearing intentional marks of the hand-finishing process that sets it apart from mass-market designs.

Intended to work alone, or stacked with the Micro Skull Ring. This is a future heirloom built to last.
