Recently, Raf Simons showcased his designs crafted for the Spring/Summer 2022 season and one of the notable items included the Skeleton Ring. The Belgian designer is no stranger to creating statement pieces and this ring does not fall short of that reputation.
The jewelry is designed in a silver hue and sees a skeleton hand holding a globe, which is reminiscent of the skeleton hand-arm cuff that made its appearance during the designer's Fall/Winter 2021 show. The ring has a thick band that features engraving details for branding accents. The pendant hook drops to feature the skeletal hand holding the sphere to possibly allude to the idea of 'having the world in your hands.' The ring is available in sizes 12-18.
