Pitted Skull Pendant

Description

The legends surrounding the guardian skull start in England in the 17th century and have become twisted over time. It began as a tradition of keeping the skull of a deceased patriarch and was said to scream if ever removed from its place. Despite this warning, they were actually known as guardian skulls and were usually kept in a customized nook within an important room in the house. The skull was the embodiment of the luck for a household or family.

Questions and Answers

Will the dark finish change over time?
The oxidation sits over solid sterling silver. The recessed pitting keeps its darkness for years while raised areas lighten slowly with wear, deepening the weathered look.
