    Just a taster, but it has most of my main stuff in, actually missing the most expensive items - the platinum and diamond earings that I never take off.

    So yeah, I do love my jewels. Check out the mexican rosary at the bottom, all the beads are actually individual skulls and roses, sexy stuff.

    One of my fav items -

    Custom Gabor Inc USA bracelet

    And this is my newest item -

    [​IMG]

    Custom Great Frog skull ring with paved forehead (too much to get a decent pic) and diamond cut ruby eyes. Awesome in the flesh, stands out a mile.

    So I was just wondering if anyone else here shares my love for jewels?
    Or if anyone knows of any small obscure designers, I am always on the look out for unique stuff.

    Oh yeah, I wear it as tastefully as it is possible to wear a jewel encrusted skull!

    + If I am going to a game center, can't wear really heavy rings. Trust me your hand will ache like crazy with all the tapping of buttons. Actually I was watching a really high level Virtua Fighter Tourny in Japan, and the eventual winner had a ring on each finger, don't know how they do it.

    As for the skull it is a complete custom by The Great Frog off carnaby street in London. The same designer now works at Crazy Pig Designs London and has done some even more amazing versions.

    I would love to have a skull ring on one finger, and The Phantoms good mark on the other ring.

    I can sort of imagine you wearing a lot of black clothing... and metal plated boots.

    I have two pieces of jewelery and both of those are very small and discreet silver chains.

    Im with barcode. I think you have a awsome collection there but I dont do metal on skin lol. It makes me feel sick after a few min for some reason and if I dont take it off I will start throwing up after a hour or two.

    Anyway great stuff there ;)

    Jamtex - I ain't no goth!!! I am more likely to wear inlaid cowboy boots, biker boots or even chelsea boots. I'm a dandy, a fop. Think Russell Brand crossed with Jarvis Cocker. (And I have been mistaken for the latter a couple of times)

    But you know once you have been wearing heavy jewelry for so long your wrists and fingers feel "too" light without it. My hands feel more natural now with a ring or two. But this is not "metal" this is 925/950 silver, which is softer and really moulds to your skin with continued use. I'll admit that steel or even platinum rings can jar against your skin as they are so hard.

    I ain't getting on no plane fool!

    Jokes aside, nice to see a different kind of collection. I have to say, Mr Brand is a very funny fellow indeed. If only they'd have his show on MTV over here, though I suspect his comedy is a bit too English for the USA perhaps!

    I intend to collect more watches, as I'm not much for jewelry, just the wedding ring for me. Go for comfort fit ladies and gents, if you plan to wear your ring for many years.

    Yeah, I thought it was fun, when I first wrote it. But now I don´t even understand what I wrote myself. So, I am going to delete the post, since it doesn´t make any sense at all.

    liquitt - no mocking the Brand! I have done some modelling in my time (thats half of how I afford all this stuff) and my shots are just as poser-ish!

    It must be said that the ladies do go for the dandy look, specially in Japan. Where half the most lusted after guys tend to look more than a little feminine -

    http://www.gabor-silver.com/04272006-GIUSA-JapanHP-INFO/magazine_ads/SilverAccessoriesStyle-vol3.html

    On another note, silver and jewels are so big in Japan. Big USA brands like Bill Wall, Gabor, Chrome Hearts sell at least 90 percent of their stuff in Japan. Living in Osaka I saw at least one silver fan - like myself - a day, but I hardly know any man in the UK who wears anything beyond a simple chain. Shame. When I am living in Tokyo late this summer I am going to hit the Japan brands like Holloow, Owls, Wolfman, Justin Davis so hard my wallet is going to wish it had never been born.

    EDIT - BTW Taucias my wedding ring will be visable from the moon...

    Warrakia, I am more into weapons, than jewelry. And I am allergic to silver, so steel it IS for me.
