This skull, carved from an elongated oval red and white banded chalcedony disc, has been afforded a ribcage. It's a complete first around here! And because it bears mentioning: I did this, with my own oversized hands and fatigued vision in my studio in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Set in silver, clasped in place by the Mare (if you've not met, you can see it here) This please is completely one of a kind.

Length of chain: 45cm

Charm: 2.5 x 2cm 

The mare setting was sculpted by myself in wax, cast in 925 Sterling Silver and oxidised by hand. 

Made in England
