reimagined V I N T A G E // strong finger friends' memento mori / 10k yellow and rosy gold with diamonds skull ring / size 11

an absolute labor of love. the slightly rose gold 10k skull came from an old fraternal pin, which I lovingly hand filed the Greek enameled letters off of. I sourced a perfect, pre-loved 10k yellow gold band with tiny diamond accents. My brilliant jeweler swapped the paste eyes for diamonds, removed the hardware, and laser soldered the piece together, leaving the enameled facial features intact.

size 11 — the sizing is approximate since the ring doesn't fit flush on the sizing mandrel, but I've compared it to a size 11 ring and used the inner diameter measurement to confirm the size. this could be sized down a MAXIMUM of 3 sizes

in good upcycled condition

the Greek enamel letters were filed off the forehead, and there's a faint hint of that adventure

the skull x-rayed as solid 10k gold, but it has uneven, thick patina and I would not recommend this piece for someone with sensitivities to lower karat golds or brass, as whatever alloy was used in the skull is likely to be more prone to irritating skin

there is some wear to the enameled nose and teeth, but enamel is a lesson in non-attachment

diamonds don't have any damage
