P. Metallica One ring

We have crafted a lot of custom rings. 

This one ring has been the funkiest of our orders.

Our friend shan is an avid collector of reptiles and arachnids. 

His fascination for spiders has made him the first to breed the P Metallica spider in the Philippines.

We created a ring for him to celebrate this aptly named spider. A unique arachnid in a blue colour with

the name paying homage to one of our favourite bands Metallica. 

From Wikipedia:Poecilotheria metallica is a species of tarantula. It reflects brilliant metallic blue color. Like others in its genus it exhibits an intricate fractal-like pattern on the abdomen. The species' natural habitat is deciduous forest in Andra Pradesh, in central southern India. P. metallica was first discovered in the town of Gooty, a fact reflected in some of its common names: Gooty sapphire ornamental tree spider, Gooty sapphire, and Gooty tarantula. Other common names are metallic tarantula, peacock parachute spider, peacock tarantula, or salepurgu.

Dark Angel

A ring that took a while. Like all things to make it great it must take time and a lot of effort

.

We revised this ring three times and took a while to sculpt her.

Dark Einjel as a tribute to the owner. A ram with wings and an Onyx feathers close the circle.

Quetzalcoatl

Recently we were comissioned to do a special ring for a friend in Mexico.

Quetzalcoatl or a feathered serpent. We used the pattern of the old

Mexican biker rings and inlayed it with the brass serpent.

His personal seal on one side and a special aztec Vtwin was created for the opposite side

as a homage to the famous engine.



Quetzalcoatl /ˌkɛtsɑːlˈkoʊɑːtəl/ (Classical Nahuatl: Quetzalcohuātl [ketsaɬˈko.aːtɬ]) is a Mesoamerican deity whose name comes from the Nahuatl language and means "feathered serpent".^[1] The worship of a feathered serpent deity is first documented in Teotihuacan in the first century BC or first century AD.^[2] That period lies within the Late Preclassic to Early Classic period (400 BC–600 AD) of Mesoamerican chronology, and veneration of the figure appears to have spread throughout Mesoamerica by the Late Classic (600–900 AD).^[3]
