Skull ring

[Marcus Hunt]

Here's a great ring that I scratched all over recently. The jeweller (rubycrush.co.uk) was over the moon with it. I thought it didn't turn out too badly either. It needs some finishing work but this is what it was like when it left me. Unfortunately there's a couple of little bits of laquerstick on the ring that I didn't notice til the ring had gone back to the jeweller

Marcus, that is certainly out of the box. It looks like the skull has a doo rag on. Really cool.

I read the title "Skull Ring" but with my first glance, it looked like a real human skull that was scrimshawed and made me recoil a bit---I guess that's from the good picture.
Nice work Marcus!

I'm with JJ on this one

That is the ultimate Phantom ring!!!!

Looks great

Cheers

PS

What's a laquer stick??

Wow, that's pretty cool, Marcus:thumbs up::thumbs up:! The bare original skullring looks nice, it seems to me it's one of the few more 'realistic' castings that are available on the market, and ...good enough for a beautiful engraving!! I once bought a unique sterling skullring on the internet, made by Dave's Custom skulls http://www.davescustomskulls.com/E-Bay-Mini-Main-2.html, all unique handmade rings! My ring was one of the last series the shop's founder Dave Caruso made himself, just before he passed away after a long period of illness. Maybe, once my own engraving gets good enough, I will carve my ring with a nice decoration, too. Keep up the great work! Greetings, Paulie

Very cool!

Love it Marcus, I can imagine those are "micro scrolls" and so are the leaves. As to me looking at them at this size they look detailed and real skull size big.
But I know the size of a ring :big grin:

[GertGraveur]

So cool!, nice job!

 

[vilts]

That's way cool.

I guess that's how a real engravers skull will look like after lifetime of scrollwork...

The Jeweler in me wants to give it one white gold tooth! Very Nice work.

Thanks for you kind words guys. It was a fun project and hopefully we'll do some more collaborations in the future.

Julian Lamb, the guy who made the ring did a fabulous job. I think he originally trained as a model maker and took his skills into the jewellery field. The detail he puts into the rings is incredible; each one of the tiny teeth for example. He also makes portrait rings which are fantastic; his Hendrix and Elvis rings are superb. You can check them out on his website.

Our wives both said it first, that the engraving looks like a bandana, is that what you meant by a doo rag Tira?

 

[Tira]

Bandana - that's what the parents say... My kids say doo rag.
