with Ruby So, once I designed the Spartan Heart pendant, I knew I had to do a ring. In the center of the heart is more than 28 skulls, including a conjoined pair. Outline the heart is a row of 53 skulls, with another row of 53 skulls facing out from the shank below them. And, for good measure, there is a tiny skull on each side peaking out of the split shank. There are 3-2.3 mm bezel-set stones nestled amongst the skulls. The heart is 14.4 mm high x 16.25 mm wide, and the shank tapers down to 6.8 mm in the back. Sterling silver.
Design Notes: This pendant was inspired by the opening scene of the movies "300" in which the Spartan babies are being culled and thrown into a pile. This is my take of the skulls lying in the pile of discarded parts, and they are laid-out in the heart shape which is acknowledging the broken hearts of the mothers of the culled Spartan infants.

For nearly 20 years we have been Hollywood’s “go to” jewelers for television and films. In our spare time, we design and make jewelry that we like to wear. Most pieces are inspired by our rescue dogs, Pyppee, Alfiler, Lleo and BubbaLou, but we also make items with other themes, like skulls, pirates, tikis, Vikings, tattoos, etc.
