Mixed-metal ring Small oxidised silver skull feature Hand-applied gold detailing Ruby eyes Slim gold band COMPOSITION & SIZE Oxidised Sterling Silver; 24ct Gold; 14ct Gold; Ruby Feature L: 0.84cm, Feature W: 0.68cm Band W: 0.1cm This skull ring is another unique oxidised silver offering from Acanthus, the fine jewellery line by designer Nicole McIver, whose art history background informs every last detail. In an elegant fusion of contrasting metals, this ring showcases a small, oxidised silver skull with glittering red ruby eyes, perched on a wire-thin gold band. Hand-applied 24 carat gold detailing is painstakingly cut, placed and bonded directly to the silver to create a subtly irregular, brushed gold effect across the surface of the skull. A delightfully versatile piece, wear it day or night, either styled alone or stacked with an assortment of other oxidised silver bands for a contemporary gothic look. “Hand-crafting each piece is an essential principle of my work. As an art historian, I treasure the relationship between artist and patron, and I want the wearers of my jewellery to know exactly where their special piece came from, which is directly from my hands.” – Nichole McIver, Acanthus founder Acanthus is a jewellery line from Nichole McIver, a former art historian who creates each piece in her studio in Minnesota. The brand's name refers to a scrolling foliage motif whose reappearance throughout different eras of history symbolises a sense of timelessness, according to McIver - a trait she endeavours to recreate within her work. The designer is drawn to the medieval and the ancient, particularly pre-16th century objects that she reimagines and transforms into intricate jewellery. Acanthus is available exclusively in the UK at Liberty.
