Crest Signet Skull Ring Ruby Gold
Crest Signet Skull Ring Ruby Gold
Skull Crest Ring Ruby Eyes Signet Gold
Designer: J DAUPHIN
A unisex crest signet in gold plated silver. The round face is struck like a wax seal, a crowned skull at the center ringed by worn lettering with a second small crown below, and a pair of rubies set as the eyes.
The skull is the old memento mori, carried in rings and seals since the Renaissance, worn not to mourn but to keep the wearer awake to the passing of time. The crown above it points to what stands higher than thought, the will that governs the mind, and to the idea that the deepest light waits inside the descent, so that remembering the end becomes a way of choosing life. The rubies at the eyes hold courage, vitality and the strength of the heart.

A multiple award winning designer highly recognised as an accessory and jewelry designer, her work has been featured in Vogue, W Magazine, Marie Claire, Harper's Bazaar, and Elle across numerous countries, and carried by the world's most prestigious luxury stores including Lane Crawford, Bergdorf Goodman, H Lorenzo, United Arrows, Isetan, Le Bon Marché, Matches, and Harvey Nichols.
