Skeleton ring with internal spine detail, size R (US 8.5) adjustable, hallmarked Birmingham

This striking sterling silver ring is sculpted as a skeletal figure, rendered in three dimensions with a high level of anatomical detail. The skeleton stretches across the top of the ring, with the skull and ribcage forming the focal point, while arms and hands extend along the sides of the band.

The design continues beneath the surface: inside the ring, a raised spine motif runs along the interior, echoing the skeletal form above and demonstrating thoughtful, all-around craftsmanship rather than surface decoration alone. 

Skeletal motifs have long been used in jewellery as symbols of mortality, transformation, and the passage of time. Often associated with memento mori traditions, they serve as reminders of impermanence and the value of lived experience.

Fully hallmarked for Birmingham.
