this sterling silver ring features the skull(s) of a two headed girl/boy, fashioned in the style of victorian mourning & the latin phrase: memento mori, which means, 'remember your mortality' or 'remember you must die'. this is the first 'human' fragment i have done and was also created as an homage to one of my oldest obsessions, the conjoined twin. the title comes from tod browning's cult movie 'freaks,' and explores my obsession with those marked with physical abnormalities as a personal metaphor for the visualization of internal psychic trauma and how people are connected by these flaws and 'oddities.


The type of conjoined twin imagined here in ring form is the Cephalothoracopagus, which is when the head and thorax are fused, having two faces but sharing one body. This ring is also an exploration of the myth of the doppelgänger. It is believed that if you catch a glimpse of yourself within your periphery that it is a sign that you will die. However, I believe that the image of the doppelgänger can be seen as facing yourself or self-knowledge.


the ring is solid sterling silver and has a nice, slight heft to it.
ring is an 1.5 inches long and sits .5 inches off the finger.
this is handmade to order just for you ! please allow 3-4 weeks for creation and shipment.

IMPORTANT:
please send me your *CORRECT* size at time of ordering, i can't start the ring until i have this info. i can make half and quarter sizes as well. it is best to have your finger professionally sized at any local jewelry store that sells engagement rings. if this is for a gift, you can also have a ring sized to find out the proper ring size without the recipient being present (if you can manage to snag a ring without them noticing ! ) ONLINE CHARTS HAVE PROVEN TO BE EXTREMELY UNRELIABLE. i do re-size rings for a small fee.
