This is a heavy, solid skull ring that is Made to Order for you in your size. You will probably not want to play pickleball or play the flute while wearing this heavy ring. Just saying. I carved this skull in wax and cast it using the lost wax casting method. This Solid Skull Ring is the smallest of my 3 Skull Rings in the Memento Mori Collection. Once I got the solid skull's expression and teeth where I wanted them, I made a mold and can inject the mold with wax to make one for you in your size! I cast it in sterling silver in a 14-hour burnout cycle. Clean it up and file and smooth the inside of your ring to fit comfortably. I then polish the inside and oxidize the outside and brush up the high points for the details in the metal to show.
This ring is 1” tall and wide.
The Solid Skull Ring is part of the Memento Mori Collection.
Death, decay, corruption, and constant reminders of our own mortality wait around every corner. What can we do but recognize and even celebrate these as reminders to live our lives more fully? The Stoic Philosophers of antiquity wrote that one can only live one’s life fully in the present moment by meditating on death’s inevitability. This is the thought process celebrated by Memento Mori art.
So here is your reminder to live life to the wicked fullest!
