METALLICA SKULL RINGS and WOLF RING the REAL THING!

Don't be fooled by various websites, blogs and general blurbs
trying to con you into parting with good money for poor copies.
If you are looking for the real LARGE EVIL SKULL RING
or THE WOLF RING and PENDANT or the PLAGUE RING
as worn by CLIFF BURTON and JAMES HETHFIELD
Look no further. I, ARMAND SERRA made them,no one else!!!
These are the REAL THINGS!
I made these in the early eighties and the original masters
have always been my property.
This is what the real
LARGE EVIL SKULL should look like.

This is what the real WOLF RING should look like

This is what the PLAGUE RING should look like..................................................................................

One of the important things to look for is my TRADE MARK ZIG ZAG signature featured inside the shanks of all the original rings, If that mark is not present , then its a COPY and as such it should be worth NOT MUCH AT ALL!

CRAZY PIG DESIGNS at BUCKINGHAM PALACE.

With over 20 million people watching the
QUEEN's DIAMOND JUBILE

it was truly great to see ALFIE BOE
performing on the main stage outside
BUCKINGHAM PALACE
wearing a couple of pieces from
CRAZY PIG DESIGNS
Those  with eagle eyes might have spotted
the MEDIUM SKULL CHAIN with SKULL T BAR
and our TUDOR CLASSIC BLACK ONYX ring,

I am a musician and always critical of any performances
but in this case I must say that ALFIE BOE was by far
the best singer of the evening,
STEVIE WONDER has the best band ,specially the bass player
and  CHERYL COLE  was.........Hum!

DIAMOND JUBILEE celebrated at CRAZY PIG DESIGNS

CRAZY PIG DESIGNS is celebrating the
QUEEN's DIAMOND JUBILEE by taking
a lttle deserved break during this great
BRITISH EVENT.

HAPPY JUBILEE to all!

OSSUARY SKULL RING update

Our new SKULL ring that was released
only about 10 days ago,
for our XX th anniversary of CRAZY PIG DESIGNS.
It has already caused a bit of a stir,
We have already sent some
of the very first ones ever made to the USA.
AUSTRALIA , JAPAN and  EUROPE
So I ve include a few more close ups
for all our great customers, to see why it's already another
CLASSIC CREATION from CRAZY PIG DESIGNS

As many of our classic designs
We have been plagued by various so called
Rock & Roll jewellers
trying to claim my desgns as theirs!
Let see how long it takes them to COPY this idea...
Let's start a count down!
the winner will be NAMED and SHAMED!

CUSTOM MADE SKULL RING

There's plenty to choose from in our COVENT GARDEN store
But one thing we really love to do , is
CUSTOM ONE OFF pieces
Like this beautiful woman ring
We made this for one of our celebrity clients
The MINI SKULL RING is made of ROSE GOLD
( a very subtle variaton of red or yellow gold)
we set the entire forehead with BLACK DIAMONDS

and to give it that extra
JE NE SAIS QUOI...
(French for JE NE SAIS QUOI.)
we set dark green EMERALDS in the eyes.

THE REAL DEAL!

To coincide with the special edition METALLICA issue
from METAL HAMMER , here's a couple of pictures
of the WOLF RING and LARGE EVIL SKULL
made in the early 80's by ARMAND SERRA
and worn by the great CLIFF BURTON.

 or for the truly classic LARGE EVIL SKULL
worn by both CLIFF BURTON sand JAMES HETHFIELD.

These above rings are made from the ORIGINAL MASTER
They  have all the detail as the first generation rings.
These  also bear the  BRITISH STERLING SLIVER hallmark,starting
with the first stamp  JAS ( ARMAND SERRA registered  jeweller stamp)
as well as the SIGNATURE ZIG ZAG that is on all my original pieces.

Beware of numerous counterfits and poor copies
These have nothing to do with Armand or CRAZY PIG DESIGNS.
Generaly speaking these copies are much lighter and have poor detail
and of course do not have either the JAS stamp or Armand' s signature
ZIG ZAG.

as shown here on our new XX OSUARY SKULL RING

NEW SKULL RING CLASSIC at CRAZY PIG DESIGN

I, Armand SERRA designed and  created the very first original
EVIL SKULL ring back in 1979
It has been worned by everyone from METALLICA, IGGY POP
JOE PERRY, BILLY GIBBONS RICK NIELSEN,and many more.
Unfortunatly it also has been copied by many so called
Rock & Roll Jewellers who have told " PORKY PIES"
and claimed to be the makers and originators of the EVIL SKULL.
LIARS  LIARS  PANTS ON FIRE!
ANYWAY!!!!!!! No PORKIES here at CRAZY PIG!

I've be thinking  wouldn't it  be cool to come up with another
CLASSIC SKULL RING,
in the same league of my EVIL SKULL RING ?
After looking for some ideas
I came accros a book about OSSUARIES,full of amazing photos

Basically Osuarries are catacombs  found all over Europe
Some of the pictures of the bones, skeletons and skulls
were actually very beautiful and quite moving.
Instead of being sinister ossuaries are tributes to those
who have departed , a tribute to their past lives.

So here it is my OSSUARY SKULL RING.

It s is slightly bigger than my EVIL SKULL RING and ANNIVERSARY LIMITED EDITION
but its really confortable to wear .It.s a heavy ring with no hollowed parts.
Inside the shank is the roman numeral XX for 20 years of CRAZY PIG DESIGNS
and of course my signature ZIG ZAG logo has proof of the maker
( also found of course on REAL! ORIGINAL EVIL SKULL RINGS)
