Skull and Bones Jewelry

Janice Byrne is obsessed with skulls. She owns a jewelry company, Jlb Jewellery, where she occasionally makes some skull and bones pieces.

I'm always attracted to highly detailed and delicate unusual jewelry, so when I saw these two lovely pieces, I was drawn to them. These, like many of Janice's pieces, are shiny and the inner magpie in me, loves shiny! These piece are very wearable from a day at the office, to a night out, or a weekend trip.

Skull Bracelet and Ring

Today, we have a silver skull bracelet, and a silver and brass skull ring made by Thomas Andrews Jewellery

Bracelet

Ring

I'm a true girly girl, which means I own a lot of jewelry. Of all the pieces I own, the delicate skull ones. When these two lovely pieces came through our submission box, I was immediately drawn to their delicate construction and details. The skulls have stylized sunken cheeks and no nose cavities. These are definitely not human, which always leads my mind to wander what type of fantasy skull they could be. Either human or otherwise, they are beautiful pieces of jewelry.

Beaded Skull Bracelet

Carolyn Oord, from Canada, made this beaded skull bracelet on a bead loom. She even included the pattern for it, in case any of you want to make your own.

Hopefully you are familiar enough with using a bead loom to follow Carolyn's instructions. "It's about ½" an inch wide and the skull & crossbones measure approx. 1¼", depending on the size of the beads you are using. Start by measuring your wrist to determine how long the bracelet should be and then decide how you would like the skulls to repeat."

I love crafts that include instructions. Thanks for including the instructions and pattern Carolyn. Though I have no clue where my bead loom is, this pattern would also work with beaded single crochet. Though, that would require you slip on all of your beads, in their correct pattern before starting. Both are options though...just to give you some ideas. If nether of those seem plausible for yourself, you could sew beads onto fabric or leather in this pattern. The effect is the same with all of those ways of making a beaded bracelet.

Super "Good Art Hlywd" Skull Saturday

If you haven't had the pleasure of seeing the wonderful skull works of Josh Warner and his Good Art Hlywd skulls that we featured here in the past then let me give you a drop kick into a refresher course. Josh and his crew forge each one of these badass pieces by hand to create magnificent skull jewelry(and other products).

First up, what do you get for the person who has everything? This giant sterling silver desk skull will provide you with a heavy duty answer.



For those of us who never wanna grow up we can be Good Art kids with this set of skullriffic Army Men modeled after the original troop.



These Jack Moto rings would leave a nice forehead impression on anyone who doesn't see how killer these mofos are.



And the perfect compliment to the Jack Moto ring would, of course, be a Jack Skull bracelet.



This skully silver & leather key tab will make you stop saying, "Where are my keys?", and make you start saying, "Where is my Good Art skull key tab?".



You may have seen the original Jack Skull pendant post, but I'm betting you didn't know that that come in so many sizes. No matter your stature, there's a Jack Skull pendant made just for you.



And for all of the avid bikers out there, like Josh and myself, you'll never have better luck than with this Triple Skull Road Bell watching all around you.



These are all of the finest American hand made quality, and Josh loves to make sure his clasps and designs are built for those who know how to wear them. Now don't be fooled by the amazing array of skull works from Josh and his crew. They make tons of other glorious works including Spanish crosses, lighter cases, wallet chains, leather goods, and much more. They do have a new store that recently opened up here so go check it out. You won't get anything in time for this holiday season, but luckily these pieces impress the masses all year round. Thanks for this super skull Saturday, Josh!
