Our ornate Raven skull necklace. A Lost Apostle original, and one as unique as you are.
I’ve always loved bird skulls, particularly the raven skull, and adding the tribal carving to this bronze skull worked really well I think. I wanted this design to harmonize with the skull as well in a way that looks almost natural, and made sure that the symmetry was nicely balanced with the shape of the skull too. I took a few liberties with the eye socket detailing, but all in the name of art! There’s a jump ring incorporated into the design on the back of the skull and it hangs really nicely.
The raven skull measures 36mm from the back of the skull to the tip of its beak (not including the jump ring), and is 15mm at its widest point.
Like all Lost Apostle jewelry, the raven skull is hand carved, cast in high quality jewelers bronze, and hand finished. This piece was given a patina to bring out all the details in the skull and the tribal design, and then it then gets a really good polish to bring out the lovely colour and warmth of the bronze. Finally, as with all our jewelry, we gave this piece a special treatment to protect it from tarnishing – unlike untreated bronze this skull will keep its polish and shine for years.
The raven skull comes on your choice of chain or leather - all leather necklaces are adjustable and come with our signature Lost Apostle clasp (shown in the last photo).
