SKULL RING designer CRAZY PIG DESIGNS- GALLOWS skull ring

GALLOWS SKULL RING.

When I had the idea of making an executioner ring,
based on the somber hooded figure on the gallows,
I thought the hooded head would be a pretty cool idea,
However it was just too easy.
I figured it should be a skull with a hood.
But a skull covered by a full face was simply not an option.
However I decided to create a skull ring and a separate hood ring
that fit one into the other.
The two rings become one unit
The GALLOWS RING
We have many options available for this design
You can have satin and/or shinny finish for either rings.
also you can have one ring in yellow gold the other in silver.
Black rhodium on either rings can add a dramatic effect
and if that was not enough we can set, diamonds. rubies. emeralds
or sapphires in the eyes of the skull ring.
That is a COOL RING!
shown here is the basic silver gallows skull ring

What is a JEWELLERY DESIGNER?

That is the question

Some " jewellery designers" draw or paint on sketch pads

Some use a computer program to help them draw

and THAT IS WHERE IT ENDS

But its a long way from having an actual piece of jewellery

ready to wear, 

These people have to  find someone to actually make it!

Many are hoping that 3 D printers will resolve  all

their problems.I doubt it 

Idea, drawing, creating . is all ONE THING 

JEWELLERY DESIGNING

At Crazy Pig designs we don't need computer programs or

3D printers ....

A while back we were messing around with this nuts called Tagua Nuts.

Idea! Ice Monkey or skull? Answer BOTH!

Tool: scalpel ( dangerous)

All we had to do is arve out of the nut everything that does not look like

a monkey or a skull

What is the mysterious ZIG ZAG inside Crazy Pig Designs jewellery?

as we have been asked so many times , here is the simple answer.
I started this ZIG ZAG signature at one of my very first jobs in France. I had to sign hundreds of invoices every day for a
company that made cloth materials for famous French
Haute -couture labels.
I drew the Zig Zag like ZORRO, in a single stroke.
When I stared designing and carving jewellery I adopted the same
logo as a signature for all my pieces.
From very early on, this has been my trademark signature.
It has became the mark that customers are looking for when then want the real thing,
it is always accompanied by the British hallmark starting with the three letters JAS.
I have kept every single first generation piece of all my designs
They all have my ZIG ZAG logo.
