This one-of-a-kind handmade bracelet is constructed from round natural ruby beads, punctuated with 14K gold spacer beads, and centered by a striking 14K gold skull pendant set with diamond eyes.
The ruby beads—chosen for their saturated crimson tone and organic variation—form a rhythmic, tactile strand traditionally associated with vitality, protection, and devotion. Their warmth is offset by precisely placed gold elements, creating a deliberate contrast between organic form and refined metalwork.
At the center hangs a sculptural gold skull, rendered in solid 14K gold and animated by diamond-set eyes that catch the light with subtle intensity. Skull motifs have long served as symbols of impermanence, remembrance, and transformation; here, the form is elevated through precious materials and intimate scale, functioning as both adornment and talisman.
This bracelet was entirely handcrafted, assembled bead by bead, with attention to balance, proportion, and wearability. It is not a reproduction and cannot be replicated exactly—each element was selected and composed by hand.
Designed to be worn alone as a statement or layered with antique charm bracelets, this piece exists at the intersection of contemporary creation and historical symbolism.
