SKULL RINGS at CRAZY PIG DESIGNS

CRAZY PIG DESIGNS was closed on tuesday and Wednesday for
some refurbishment, but we were back in business on Thursday
Last week VALENTINE shoppers flock to our store
and we were equally busy last weekend.with special orders
( wedding rings) and various international customers.
For example we had to size our LARGE EVIL SKULL
for a USA client to a pretty big size, and again the same ring purchased
by a Japanese lady to a tiny size.
Both collected their rings at the same time
so we took a photo to illustrate that most of our rings
can be made to a wide variety of sizes

Shown on the picture is the Large size SKULL RING finished
and the small size SKULL RING before hand polishing.

CRAZY PIG DESIGNS & NEIGHBORHOOD new SKULL RING

Here's the latest SKULL RING that we made in collaboration
with the Japanese brand NEIGHBORHOOD

This SKULL RING is based on our classic
SMALL EVIL SKULL RING but with a twist
The ring is really confortable to wear and the added
cross bones sit perfectly either side of the finger.

CLASSIC ROCK readers,WELCOME to CRAZY PIG DESIGNS

As an introduction to CRAZY PIG DESIGNS I thought I might
as well start with the world best known SKULL RING.
I called it the LARGE EVIL SKULL back in the early 80's
I designed it originally for myself but soon I had a lot of enquiries
and the first wearers of the EVIL SKULL included
KEITH RICHARDS, JAMES HETHFIELD, CLIFF BURTON
and followed over the years by many more like
FAITH NO MORE, THE CULT,JOE PERRY,BILLY IDOL
IGGY POP, BILLY GIBBONS,SCOTT WEILAND, SLASH
RICK NIELSEN, ERIC CLAPTON,

Over the years I have made many variations of the original
EVIL SKULL RING
We have three different sizes at present to choose from

as shown on here.
I also made a LIMITED EDITION , KEITH RICHARD SKULL RING
( the first 25 or so went to the ROLLING STONES)  but these are completely SOLD OUT.
There's a LIMITED EDITION ANNIVERSARY EVIL SKULL
from our online store.
The EVIL SKULL RING is actually one item only out of over 1000 designs
to choose from.

The EVIL SKULL is probably the most copied skull ring in the world
but there's only one REAL ONE from the ORIGINAL DESIGNER ( ARMAND SERRA)
made from the ORIGINAL PROTOTYPE and first generation MOULD.
only available  at CRAZY PIG DESIGNS.

CRAZY PIG DESIGNS and STUSSY

One of the first Limited Edition ring that I made was for the famous brand STUSSY.
They approached  me with some ideas for the design
They wanted a very chunky silver ring
with a roman profile on one side and of
course the logo STUSSY on the opposite site
They wanted the ring to look like an ancient roman ring.

Above: first prototype

Here's some of the artwork supplied by STUSSY as the basic idea.

Other LIMITED EDITIONS  rings  over the years have included
KEITH RICHARDS SKULL ring
Only 365 were made and the firts 25 were assigned to the ROLLING STONES.

PLANET OF THE APES for the NIGO of BATHING APE clothing brand

and JAMES LAVELLE UNKLE rings

SKULL logo a.k.a.GOMEZ history

CRAZY PIG DESIGNS logo is known has GOMEZ
Here's a little backgroung of how it came about
While I was working in the mid eighties as a jeweller
in Carnaby street I also indulge in my first passion
of playing lead guitar.The band was called PANAMA
( I wanted to call it CRAZY PIG but no one in the band

liked the name).I designed a logo fpr PANAMA

it was at first a grinning skull with bones but with hands and feet

to give it an amusing twist.The new singer in the band wore a top hat

on stage so we added a top hat to our logo

Finally we added a JACKSON guitar , because I got and

endorsement with Jackson /Charvel guitars.

The band was really a great hard rock band but as always

the manager took most of the money and weended up broke.
As I had been making jewellery for about 10 years
I decided to concentrate on jewellery designing and this is why
the store is named CRAZY PIG DESIGNS
and GOMEZ is the shop mascot
Before you can call yourself  ROCK & ROLL jeweller

you really need to know a thing or two about Rock & roll.
