This ring was inspired firstly by Drawlloween 2022 and todays (10/12) prompt of Game of Bones. When deciding what to make for this prompt I was inspired by the famous Lovers of Valdaro grave of a man and a woman who died in each others arms in Italy approximately 6,000 years ago. They were uncovered in 2007 there is something extremely romantic to me about their fate and their final embrace. The ring is also a bit of nod to the tradition Claddagh rings with a crowned heart and the heart being held by hands. And lastly I have lately been researching Victorian jewelry quite extensively and have fallen in love with the Fede rings which are generally 2 clasped hands representing a token of loyalty or faith between two people.
This ring has a heart shaped center with my version of the embracing skeletons. Above the heart is gold crown and 2 hands are holding the heart and crown.
It is cast in solid 14k yellow gold.
The top of the ring is 19mm's wide and the band is about 2.75mm's wide at the back.
The ring in the photos is the one you will receive, it is a size 7 and ready to ship. It can be sized up or down within 1 size.

Testimonials
"I am extremely picky with my jewelery and had been taking forever to
decide on a wedding ring. I found Swank Metalsmithing and immediately
knew it was something special. After much deliberation, I finally pulled
the trigger on a custom ring by Chelsea and I'm so glad I did. It's
absolutely beautiful, one of a kind, and the quality is
fantastic...especially for the price!" - E
I didn’t actually want an engagement or wedding ring. I’d never seen one that I liked even remotely enough to want to wear 24/7. I don’t wear jewelry anyway, plus I’m a professional athlete, so the idea of constantly removing a ring and risking losing it made it hard to justify purchasing one.
And then, on my for-you-page, I came across your rings, and on your site I saw the shadow-box bat ring. I knew immediately that I had to have it.
I love that I am supporting a small, and local business (born and raised in PDX!); I love that I could make custom choices (metal color, stone color, lab grown diamonds - this was a non-negotiable when I thought about rings); I love that I have something unique and fantastical and a little bit strange that feels like ME!!
It is the ring I always hoped for, but didn’t even know existed. Your jewelry is what made me WANT to wear an engagement ring.
I cannot wait to show it off <3
