This mighty Memento Mori skull and crossbones ring is made using recycled solid 925 sterling silver. No cheap bendy shanks here. It’s made to last! Handmade jewellery made for men or women depending on size required.

I created this Jolly Roger Pirate ring to show a sense of self-identity, to be boldly worn displaying individual style. Just like the original pirate flags, which identified a diverse array of captains and crews. From devious Rackham to daring Bonney, goodly England to the infamous Blackbeard. Let you be you and let it be seen. Hoist your colours high!

How they are made and sizes.

First, I deftly apply a hammered effect halfway round the outside of the shank, leaving a slight satin/polished sheen towards the top half. I then create the skull and crossbones by melting recycled silver, cooling and pickling said silver, before placing it into a shot plate. Then on it goes to the 20 tonne press. A couple of mighty presses later, with annealing and cutting down the silver in between, I start to see all the intricate details within. I proceed with a final trim up, sanding, and buffing, before fusing some recycled silver shards/dust on top, along with soldering the skull and crossbones on. Then I add a non toxic liver of sulphur to create the blackened finish before polishing once again to shine up some parts whilst others keep their blackened, shadowy depths. Last but not least, a renaissance wax is added to help reduce tarnishing and protect the finish. All my items are handcrafted and although I do try to make each piece identical, there will be some very small differences that make them unique.
