The Losselliani Skull Ring

— November 25, 2008 — Fashion
Skulls are absolutely everywhere at the moment. Every second artist and designer seems to have a skull featured in their most recent collection.

This macabre, yet glamorous, Italian-made 18 carat gold Losselliani Skull Ring features cubic zirconia arranged in a setting that resembles a spinal cord.

An interesting blingy blend of beauty and horror.
