I started this project far far too long ago. To be honest, I'm sure the customer thinks I robbed him at this point, but as you can see, and as he will soon see, I have not. This has been the most trying piece of jewelry I've made to date. I finally developed the skills i needed to get this thing done. 176.9 Grams of solid sterling silver. Arrow head on one head and the customers bind rune on the other.

I made these for a friend in a local club sometime ago. They've taken abuse very well! Support your local club.

Here I have the first layer of black enamel placed around the skull and ready for firing with the torch. Enamel, as used in jewelry making, typically is a finely powdered glass frit that fuses together when heated to leave a layer of colored glass behind after firing.

Here's a bunch of sterling silver ripped from some old candelabra. It was thin sheet folder over other sheet for joints, and filled with a hard shellac like material. In the second picture you see the results of the first melt of this metal. Not a bad haul in all.

A fellow brought me some boxes of old plate and assorted other silver containing pieces and we'll be working it out sort of together as we go, as refining and reclaiming silver are fairly new to me.

So I got with an old school brother and he still has the third ring I ever made. Sinner. On his wedding ring finger too.

I actually carved that wax with a small eyeglass screwdriver. We had soem beverages and soaked our feet in the kiddie pool on the porch of the trailer house. Much Love Brother!

82 grams of solid sterling silver death looking at you! (And that's on a little ol' size 7!) Hand made by me, at my place, with my told and my hands. And there's poetry in that.

Youngsters, PLEASE heed an old man's warning...

Just because u live a reckless life doesn’t mean you will die young. Go to work save your money and live like every day is your last, but , expect to die old, crippled and alone. Always remember, every bar tab and debt WILL come due, and you WILL pay it. One way or another.

Much love, youngsters.

Sterling Silver 2 finger skull ring with 3 skulls. Those is the first one of these I've made. It turned out awesome. Customization possible on something like this is endless. I could change out the skulls, add lettering to the inside or outside of the band, and even change the skulls for something else.
