You are looking at Erik: 1_1b_06 (the smaller image) Erik is part of the Grimlies series, and he is a pretty mischievous kid. He gets his kicks by booby-trapping his neighbour’s garden with a variety of ingenious devices and then observing the ensuing chaos from his treehouse. Brooch dimensions: 53x20 Production run: 20. Erik’s unique production number is etched on the back of the brooch.

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.

Skull and Bamboo Hoops

2 inch in diameter, these skull earrings rock! If you have a skull fetish or your still following the glamorous hollywood trend of tattoo skulls... Check these laser cut pieces out. This design was inspired by my love for riding, both skateboarding & snowboarding. It's seems that boys always had multiple options to rock the skull & cross bones but not the girls. Call it a subcultural icon or trendy... this design is a unique twist on the skull & cross bone graphic, life (bamboo) & death (the skull) united as one.
