Sterling Silver "Grim Reaper" Skull Ring
Like the old BOC song , “All of our times have come, Here but now they’re gone. Seasons don’t fear the reaper, nor do the wind the sun or the rain…” Great song, but this Reaper is to be feared. He’s a big boy that demands proper attention.
These Sterling Silver rings are made from a 3d printed model before lost wax cast. Because of that process when I scale them to size, the proportions change with the process. I’ve also given these an acid bath to darken the background before giving them a light polish to achieve a “stainless steel” look. Rest assured, they are cast in .925 Sterling Silver.
All of my rings are hand cast in .925 Sterling Silver. I alloy all my metal using only .999 pure Silver and pure Copper. Each design is either 3d printed in a castable resin, or waxed like they have done throughout the ages. They are then all “tree”d up” on a wax tree and lost wax cast using centuries old techniques. After casting they are removed from the tree, pickled to remove firescale , cleaned up and then either polished to a mirror finish or patina for an aged look.. Each item is hand worked. My Facebook page and Instagram page show the process for those interested.
Note: The last picture is the raw casts prior to finishing.
(Legal disclaimer: You will be buying an item similar to the one shown. All measurements and weights are approximate. This ring is handcrafted and can vary from piece to piece. As each item is hand-worked, they can include minor flaws and imperfections. This is normal and I feel it truly adds to their charm.For shipping to countries outside the United States, it can take up to 4-6 weeks and all country specific taxes, and or duty, are not included.)
