Skull Rings - A Biker's Jewelry For Men

by fanssteel

Male Jewelry has always been roughed up and rugged, the making of rings for men is always easier than the making of jewelry for women as the male jewelry does not require very refined work. The appeal of Skull rings for men has been made possible by the biker gangs who in their counter culture tend to have a very strong impact over the society. The male bikers tend to wear skull shaped jewelry specifically designed for them. Skull rings were initially made of gold in the medieval times, but as time went on and the usage of skull as a counter culture item, it is now made in rather inexpensive metals such as silver, bronze or stainless steel. These Skull rings are specifically designed for men as they have no touch of feminism in them. Over the years it has only been worn by men and have been exclusively been developed or them. The innovation of machines and new forging items has also given a unique and rather stylish look to the skulls of the previous era as now the skull on a ring is engraved with a very unique style and also has stones imbedded in it which tend to provide a very grand feeling to it. The silver rings are also used as attractive jewelry by some counter culture fashion designers whereas some of the rather rich counter culture enthusiasts even developed a liking for gold Skull rings. Although these rings basically go against the normal standards of this anti-establishment culture, yet as is with the media and money fashion statements that are made by the poor are taken up by them and the ideology of the don't care attitude becomes a money making magnet. Skull is a sign of intimidation and horror, in European culture it signifies death, whereas in the American culture it signifies disregard to authority. Started as a punk rock insignia in the 70s has now spawned into a fashion statement and a counter culture item which signifies a bad ass attitude towards life. The use of human skull as an ornamental item has been part of the occult and medieval pagan rituals in old times. There are also Skull rings available in the market, which are made by the original bikers and the real Goths. They have refined and redeveloped their ideals of making Skull rings with modern technology without losing its original appeal. Goth rings have a unique style of having gothic images along with the rings, these rings differ from the biker rings as they all have dark imagery on it with the cross a very important sign. Normally associated with the Goths in Europe and with Harley bikers in the US, it was firstly and most famously worn by the phantom of the comic strip fame. That ring had more of a positive vibe to it as it was used for the good of mankind. The first dark imagery of this ring was perforated by the lead guitarist of rolling stones, the 36 year old Keith Richards in 1979, it was a gift made by his friend David Courts in London, and this was the first time that the skull on the ring was laughing death with a hood which illustrated Keith's emblematic persona about living at the edge of mortality. Over the years this ring has made a public persona of its own and is a very marketable commodity with Keith being and icon of counter culture.
