Images are AI-generated renders of the design, not photographs of your cast piece — which is made to order in solid 925 sterling silver to this same design.
A skull under a burial cloth. The shroud falls in heavy folds and the bone reads through it — the brow, the sockets, the hollow beneath the cheek — roughly 28 mm tall. The eyes and the nose are cut clean through, so whatever you wear behind it shows. It hangs from a sterling chain, included.
Solid 925 sterling silver, all metal and no stones, oxidized by hand so the folds keep their shadow and the bone stays bright where the cloth pulls tight. It is cut from the same bone as the Vigil Signet — the skull ring with a lab-created opal set at the crown.

Why you can trust it
- Solid 925 sterling silver. The real metal all the way through, not a coating.
- Any detail of this piece can change. The stone, its colour and cut, the metal finish, the size, the engraving, the proportions — because it is cast after you order, nothing here is fixed. Ask for the changes you want before you buy. Change enough and it stops being this design and becomes yours, at no extra cost beyond what the new piece takes to make.
- All metal, no fillers. Solid silver throughout — this piece is set with no stones.
- No plated base metal. Solid sterling all the way through — not silver-coloured brass.
- We tell you how it ages. The dark is an oxidized patina, not a coating — only microns thick. Worn every day it wears brighter along the raised edges while the recesses stay black. That is how oxidized silver ages, and it is not a fault.
- Made to order, and protected. Free US shipping, thirty-day returns, and Etsy buyer protection on every order.
- Wearing it on Halloween? Order by September 23 — it is cast after you order, so that is the last day the making and the post office both fit. Intricate casts take longer; ask us first.
Wearing it
Worn at the sternum it sits alone well; in a layered neckline let it hang lowest and keep whatever is above it finer. The pierced openings mean it borrows from what is behind — over black it reads as a void, against skin as bone — so it changes with the shirt rather than fighting it. It is small enough to wear daily and dark enough not to announce itself.

Keep dry; polish the raised silver gently and leave the oxidized recesses dark — the finish is meant to deepen with wear.
