I've tried my hand at a memento mori conversion ring — a mashup of an antique signet ring and an antique sterling silver skull

sterling silver skull
diamond eyes
rosy yellow gold Otsby Barton signet ring

M E A S U R E M E N T S

skull face measures 10mm North to South x 6mm East to West
signet measure 11mm North to South
5mm rise off the finger
diamonds each measure 2mm across

size 6.5

C O N D I T I O N

in good antique conversion condition

this mash-up is on the more primitive side, so not best for someone who likes they're antique jewelry perfect

surface inconsistencies in color and texture across much of the 10k rosy yellow gold signet — some of this is uneven patina that could be shined, other parts are inconsistencies for repairs, like at the base of the band

scratches, dents and dings consistent with an antique conversion piece

diamonds are similar in size, but different in color

a noticeable dent/scratch to the lower left of the skull face with darkened patina

marked 'OB' for Otsby Barton, but has lost its 10k mark
