Halloween Ring

From an engraving in a volume from 1871 entitled "Rambles of an Archaeologist Among Old Books and in Old Places". "These death’s-head rings were very commonly worn by the middle classes in the latter part of the sixteenth and the early part of the seventeenth centuries... Luther used to wear a gold ring, with a small death’s head in enamel, and these words, “Mori sæpe cogita” (Think oft on death); round the setting was engraved “O mors, ero mors tua” (Death, I will be thy death). This ring is preserved at Dresden. Shakspere, in his Love’s Labour’s Lost (Act V. scene 2), makes his jesting courtier, Biron, compare the countenance of Holophernes to “a death’s face in a ring.” We have already adverted to a similar ring worn by one of Shakspere’s fellow townsmen. In the “Recueil des Ouvrages d’Orfeverie,” by Gilles l’Egaré, published in the early part of the reign of Louis XIV., is an unusually good design for one of these rings, which we copy [here]. It is entirely composed of mortuary emblems, on a ground of black enamel." This file contains ladies ring sizes 4, 5 and 6 in order. Each engraving is slightly different.

Asymmetrical Shadow Scroll Cuff

InterestingParticulars — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 01:18:52 GMT

Art Nouveau was my first fine art love; the graphic quality, the swirling shapes which all compliment one another & the goddess like women being held by nature remind me of my dreams. So I set about finding beautiful art nouveau to tattoo myself in. This cuff bracelet is a companion piece for the Asymmetrical Shadow Necklace. -Although it looks great with the symmetrical Shadow Necklace also! It comes in 9 different colors.

Gothic Lantern

DSCulp — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 16:08:57 GMT

Gothic meets modern This flat-pack lighting design takes the gothic patterns of cathedral windows and recreates them with the laser cutter. Cut from a single P3 sheet of 5.8mm Euromaple, the panels of this 5-sided lantern cast their unique shadows when lit from within. The pattern has been designed so that this lantern can stand on its feet and use either a candle or be wired for illumination. If wired, the unit may also hang as a traditional church lantern. If wiring light, some adjustments to base may be required, depending on parts available. Finished dimensions are 26cm high and 22cm in diameter.
