Long story short, I think alot of you know Im into silver jewelry, especially the handmade custom stuff, and skulls as well.

Well, watching the Expendables the other night, noticed Stallone had a skull ring on, that they showed very prominently. So, I searched it online, and found some articles and then the website of the jeweler.

He makes all his stuff by hand, all custom, and he can make you anything you want as well. He has alot of other stuff available that is not on his website, so if there is something you would like, shoot him an email, he will respond quickly.

I emailed back and forth with him a couple of times. Great guy, who even offered me a tour of his foundry and shop if I ever find myself in LA.

I know a couple of guys here are into this stuff from pm-ing with a few of you, so I though I would share it here as well.

The Sly ring in all silver I was quoted at $815. It is 80 grams of silver. I didnt get the quote on the two tone version.

Heres a pic of it from there facebook page.



Also the other ring in my posts and as my avatar currenty, was originally custom made forSly as well, and after making it, the jeweler liked it so much, he decided to make it part of his regular line.

Not really, just like watches there are different ranges of things out there, quality, design, handmade or factory made, etc.

Im into all the custom jewelry stuff, and his prices are right in line with all of the custom jewelers I have come across for this stuff, whether they be in LA, FL, TX, etc. Its solid silver and made by hand, not in a factory. Its something that is supposed to last a lifetime, not just a trinket. Everybody has different opinions on things, and different things they will spend there money on, just like some people look at us and ask how much we paid for that watch....and then stare at us when we tell him the answer...LOL.
