I will remake this ring to any size the one you see here is size 9, the skull will have variations from this one you see, some rock crystals are more opaque. This ring will be signed and dated by Ruben X. Viramontes.
NEW IDEA: is, pick a stone skull color and i will suggest matching stones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! see my skull assortment sheet.
This ring weighs 2 ounces of Solid Silver. Top is 25mm by 18mm, the bottom of the ring shank is 13mm. The side width is 24mm where the Mermaid and eye are. The crystal skull is 20mm long by 14mm wide. Total 7 turquoise stones from the Sleeping Beauty Mine in Arizona. I carved a cross into the back of the crystal skull, painted it turquoise, you can see it distorted through the clear crystal.I oxidized the silver black where the skull is set, that is why it looks blackish at some angles.
This ring was inspired for my love of adventure and love of Spanish and caribbean and Pirate art. Another love i have are Mermaids, this one i carved with wings so she represents ocean and air and is the guardian of travel and endevers. The eye is for knowledge and protection. This is a big ring, looks like a pirate's treasure for sure.Magical and mystifying as the cross behind the skull moves like waves in the ocean, refractive distortions and blurrs of turquoise move when you turn the ring. This skull has been blessed by this holy cross. A great piece for meditation because the cross comes and goes into infinity, plays with the space inside the skull.Underside of the ring is like the inner belly of a pirates' ship, the ribbed structure alows the finger to breath but also looks nautical. |
