[Rockinruby]

I am not sure if this has been listed before, but I couldn't find a thread if so. Thought this was interesting and very intricate work although not for everyone!

Those are really cool and pretty at the same time!

(not that I'd wear it, it's a little too edgy for me, but I like them!)

Cool.
My SO is of Mexican descent.
They celebrate a holiday called Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, to honor ancestors.
Like Christmas trees are to Christmas a symbol of this holiday is skeletons and skulls.

These would be cool for that holiday.

Those are so neat. I'm not usually one for skulls, but I kind of want one!

I love these! I can't see any prices and the Etsy link isn't working for me. How much do they cost? I would totally wear one. I think a pendant would be awesome!

That sounds way underpriced for the work/skill/material involved.

Wow! What a great thought! I've seen photos of that holiday and found it to be very beautiful. I especially love the thought of celebrating our loved ones who have passed.

Me too!

I agree, but they area bit out of my price range for optional jewelry although the craftsmanship is amazing.

Nothing strange about it at all. I think they are quite beautiful and unique. A bracelet would be fantastic!

Finally! I can now find out more about the gold teeth we found in a box after a family member passed away. Who knew! Thanks Kenny!

Oooooh! I think these are just beautiful! I love the luminescence that the pearl lends to these treasures and the macabre anatomical details! Thanks for posting!!
