Vintage 18K Gold Reversible Chinese Olive Pit Carved Skull and Face Statement Ring, Size 10 1/4
one of a kind
Why we love it: This is a truly one-of-a-kind ring. Crafted from 18k gold, the center olive pit is carved, in the style of "hedaio", a traditional fruit or nut pit carving folk art which became popular in China during the Qing Dynasty. One side features a face and the other a skull, suspended on the ring's face by two pins so it can be freely rotated from one side to the other. This ring is the ultimate statement piece, and we were unable to find anything similar elsewhere. Presumably hand-crafted, this is a true collector's piece.
