Each one is different, If there's a specific one you like,
Don't let it get away, the next one will not be the same.
Most of the CUSTOM LEATHERS are available in very small
quantity and cannot be repeated.

Personally ,  for over 10 years I ve been wearing the
CLASSIC plain black wallet and although it is still in great shape
despite daily rough treatments , once I saw the fisrt CUSTOM
LEATHERS ones I had to retire the old one...The only problem
was choosing which one.

I was asked. at what time do you close
I said 6.30pm
he said he would be there at about 10pm?
So I sasid no problem , Ill wait for IGGY.
!0,30 came and went...
11.00 came and went...
11.30 no one..
at almost midnight IGGY arrived,to the store ( with on shoe missing?)
He said " Don't ask"
He had to finish some TV interview and was running late
IGGY and his beautiful lady spent  a long time choosing
and they both settle for our SMALL EVIL SKU:LL RING
with saphires set in the eyes.

During concerts IGGY has to fight off the audience when they
try to take his SKULL RING from his fingers"

After winnung the battle with the fans he climbs back on the bass rig
and gives the finger

HISTORY of THE PLAGUE SKULL RING as worn by CLIFF BURTON

When I design any ring I tend to have a basic idea as a starting point.
In the case the PLAGUE RING ,the idea came from a television
program about Paris catacombs.
I wanted to design a ring that would be as close as possible to a real skull.
Virtually all the skulls shown in the program had very few teeth left.
and gave a very dramatic and ghostly expression to the skull.
The difficulty was to get the skull  ring to look "cool" even without any teeth.
I used a real skull as a model and copied every detail including the
empty cavities where the teeth had fallen out, leaving just a few at the
back of the jaw.
As mentionned in our webside, I have every single original model carving
for every piece I ever made,
The point is that every single ring is moulded from the first master
and retains all the detail that I mentionned above.
So word of advise....
There are copies off my PLAGUE RING , even the name has been copied
but it is just laughable, because all the detail that is on the original is simply gone!
The copies just look DUMB and TOOHTLESS.
so easy to spot.

TWO NEW SKULL RINGS from CRAZY PIG DESIGNS

Available from today in store and shortly online are two new
SKULL RINGS from CRAZY PIG DESIGNS
These skull rings are small and will fit both women and men.
The ida behing these is that you can choose for example our classic TUDOR TWO SKULL ring
and add either the matching single TUDOR SKULL ring or the TUDOR THREE SKULLS ring
You can comnine these three skull rings in any manner ytou choose to achieve a CLUSTER of SKULLS.
These are also great ideas for Engagement or Wedding rings.
We can customise them with rubies,emeralds, saphires or diamionds in the eyes
or PAVE set the whole skull with BLACK or WHITE diamonds to achieve
a really stunning SKULL RING
The options are unlimited
We are already customising two of these as wediing rings
P.S
Take a close look and you'll notice that each of the skull is different from the others.
Is is NOT THE SAME SKULL soldered in groups of one, two and three...
( that would be just too easy!)
