The Lost Apostle Skull Ring.
Yeah, ok. My fingers have been fairly useful up till now. They give a good high five. They can throw a pretty decent frisbee. But now, with this ring on the middle finger of my right hand, they're finally living large and in charge.
As far as anatomy is concerned, The Lost Apostle Skull Ring is as detailed as any you'll find. I really wanted to make sure the balance and proportions of the skull flowed perfectly with the ring itself, and at the same time make sure that every tiny detail of the human skull's anatomy captured. Look closely and you'll see each tooth is carved, the jaw bone tucked away behind the zygomatic arch and the nasal bones all beautifully detailed. Even the back of the jaw and teeth are carved, as is the roof of the mouth, showing the palatine bone and nasal aperture. Whoa.
But enough of anatomy.
This thing kicks ass.
The ring is completely hand carved and cast in solid white bronze. Solid. Unlike some skull rings, this one ain't hollow - the back of the skull is solid so this thing has a weight on it enough to make a grown man weep, and the ladies tremble with the unshakeable feeling that good as things may have been, they just got a whole $#!%load better. The surface of the ring has been highly polished to a mirror shine, and a patina applied to bring out all the tiny details in the anatomy of this skull. Finally a special process is applied to prevent the ring from tarnishing.
Hands take a hammering. And rings on hands take a beating too. Although this ring is as tough as the best of them, the side of the ring closest to your palm/motorcycle throttle/beer/violin bow will show signs of wear. I've done everything I can to slow this process down, but short of a life spent chilling in hammocks, it's hard to avoid. The Sterling silver version of this ring - also available in my shop - will do no such thing. Just so you know.
They'll fight over this ring when your pushing up the daisies.
The skull itself measures 3/4" from the bottom of the jaw bone to the top of the cranium and right now is available in limited sizes - I will be adding more sizes soon.
Carpe Diem, muchachos.
