SHIP'S RIB RING
|
|
Price: $200.00
|
|
|
European style shank with a flat face, and on the shank is a ribbed pattern. This ring is super comfortable to wear. The top of the ring is 7.55 mm wide, and it tapers down to 4.66 mm in the back. Sterling silver. Limited edition of 20.
Design Notes: I designed this ring for my brother Stephen. I wanted to do a band ring that was simple, yet elegant, and I happened to be doing a lot of research on Vikings and really loved the way their ships looked when they were just the skeleton and all that was exposed were their ribs.

TRI-SKELETON PENDANT

Pendant of 3 skeletons holding on to one another. The pendant is 28.1 mm wide x 28.1 mm high, and is suspended from a 11 mm tall bail with a skull on it. Sterling silver. Limited edition of 20.
Design Notes: This pendant is 2 concepts put together. The first is a popular Celtic symbol called the "Power of Three" or the "Sacred Three" that is said to symbolize: birth/life/death, creation/preservation/destruction, mother/maiden/crone, etc. The other concept comes from a Celtic grave that was discovered in which the skeletons were lying holding on to one another's ankles.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR PENDANT
|
|
Price: $225.00
|
|
|
Pendant of a Knight's Templar Helmet that is suspended from the plume of feathers on the top of the helmet that also serves as the bail. The helmet is 21.66 mm wide x 30.1 mm high. Sterling silver. Limited edition of 20.
Design Notes: I have always liked the lore of the Knight's Templar, so when I began researching some Medieval ideas, I thought it would be perfect to do a Templar helmet. I loved the reference I found of a replica that used the primitive latch and hook with rivets. I added a hammered and oxidized texture to the background, and then built a plume to suspend it. If you look closely through the eye holes of the pendant you will see the skull of the knight looking back at you.

Pendant of an animal key. 17.35 mm wide x 37.4 mm high. Sterling silver. Limited edition of 20.

ANIMAL CELTIC KNOT CROSS
|
|
Price: $250.00
|
|
|
This is a pendant of a Celtic knotted cross that has a hound head at the top of the cross. The cross is 39.4 mm high x 35 mm wide. The bail is a hound head and adds another 24.75 mm to the length of the cross. Sterling silver. Limited edition of 20.
Design Notes: This cross was an illumination in the Book of Kells. When I decided to build it, the concept was to build it once and let it become as imperfect as it might become so that it retains the hand-built look, and as a result, the cross is slightly asymmetrical.

CASTLE RING
|
|
Price: $250.00
|
|
|
Castle ring. The turret on the top is 21 mm high, and the shank tapers down to 10 mm in the back.
Design Notes: We were working on a line of jewelry for a Medieval dinner theater chain, and this is one of the pieces I designed as "tongue in cheek." The didn't choose to make it, but we added it to our line. If you look very closely, there is a tiny knight that peaks out of the turret.
