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.
