SKULLDUGGERY

Here is a piece for those among you who love skulls and appreciate creative design and outstanding craftsmanship.

A spectacular piece of wearable art for lovers of contemporary and symbolic jewellery. This magnificent ring is meticulously hand-carved from the resilient tine of a Red Deer antler, transformed into a striking skull motif by the skilled hands of master carver Fumio Noguchi.

The skull has held profound meaning throughout history, representing both mortality and eternity. In ancient cultures, it was a sacred emblem of power, protection, and the cycle of life and death. Warriors and shamans revered skulls as vessels of wisdom, while in Mexican Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) traditions, it is celebrated as an enduring connection between the living and the departed.

In modern times, the skull remains a bold statement - a symbol of rebellion, resilience, and individuality.

Carved from naturally shed Red Deer antler, this ring carries the energy of the wild shaped into an enduring piece of art.

The skull is an ancient symbol that has long been adopted to evoke a host of strong emotional responses - ranging from fear to courage and individuality. It is often seen as a representation of death and mortality, but throughout time it has been adopted to symbolise many other things, including:

• Celebrating the memory of the dead
• Celebrating life
• As a symbol of life after death
• As a symbol of change
• Skulls are worn to bring good luck, or avoid bad luck
• They are also worn to symbolise toughness, machismo, courage, bravery or indifference to death and danger
• They are seen as a symbol of nonconformity, free-thinking, and rebelliousness
• Or, they are worn as visually striking fashion accessories.
