Timeless
Since ancient times skulls have been a powerful image that fascinates and repels. They symbolize bravery and a life-and-death struggle, and are an excellent way to show off your rugged style. As time went on, however, skulls have taken on a huge variety of new meanings. Skulls have come to represent those who live on the edge of society, and people who play by their own rules. They’re a popular symbol for bikers, rockers and other rebellious types who don’t conform to the mainstream.
The skull has also been a common symbol for pirates and other seafarers who often lived outside the law. It’s no surprise that the pirate flag, the Jolly Roger, features a skull and crossbones! Today, skull jewelry is still a popular choice for rebellious men who want to show off their wild side.

Versatile
Despite its eerie image, the skull has held many positive meanings throughout the centuries. While our modern society associates it with death, for some cultures it was a symbol of rebirth, or the natural circle of life that would eventually lead to reincarnation. The Egyptians and Aztecs had ceremonies and celebrations centered around the skull, which later became a prevalent symbol for pirates and the Jolly Roger flag.
Men’s skull jewelry is a great way to show off your own style personality and attitude. Whether you’re a hard-rockin’ metalhead or just a dude with an edge, skull jewelry is a great way to express yourself and let everyone know that you mean business.
When choosing a men’s silver skull ring, be sure to consider its design. A jawless skull ring is closest in line to traditional 16th-century Memento Mori rings, but you can also tap into the grittiness of the heavy metal scene with chunky designs carved directly onto the ring itself.
At LUGDUN ARTISANS, we make high-quality mens skull pendant necklaces in a variety of styles and finishes, so you’re sure to find the perfect match for your personality. We also offer custom-made skull rings, chains and bracelets, so you can create the ideal skull-themed piece that’s uniquely yours.
