Skulls can be feminine

Right now we are working on setting up a new website and whilst reviewing our collections available for sale it reminded me that I haven't blogged in a while about our rings.

Since all our jewellery is created by my brother one of the most interesting parts of the process for me is not only seeing the final piece, but also hearing the story behind each one of them.

Our ring collection Arachne is named after a mortal who by great goddess of crafts Athena was turned into a spider. Each piece from this collection is meticulously handcrafted using ancient weaving and knotting techniques, hence the name.

The common yet distinctive feature that all rings bear is one of our favourite components - skulls. Sounds too dark? Not according to TrendHunter. Skulls are hand carved in various colours and combined with pink or red coral, amethyst or crystals that “give them sparkle and combat the harsh nature of the hand-carved skulls”.

The most favourite of mine is Czarevna ring, which translated from Russian means princess. Adorned with oversized clear rock crystal and two white skulls this is a truly distinctive piece powerful enough for royals.

Another favourite of mine is Dreamcatcher ring. Hand carved black buffalo horn skull is embellished with pink coral beads and adorned with herkimer diamond, which are believed to help retrieve one’s dreams… Very mysterious.

There’s more to choose from! You can check available pieces from Arachne collection in our Boticca online storeand we also accept orders for custom made pieces.

My brother loves incorporating skulls into his pieces, so if you have your own ideas - let us know!

Best wishes,
