Metal Couture [WLG]




GO TO THIS WEBSITE.


And as your page loads you will be met by this statement.

"Welcome to the official website of master jeweller William Llewellyn Griffiths (WLG). William has gained international cult status for his unique style of design, capturing elements of tattoo art, gothic architecture, and the baroque period in objects of precious metal."

And once you begin to peruse this site. BEGIN TO FUCKING FROTH.
Theres something OFF ITS FUCKING FACE FOR EVERYONE.
although it will cost you like a bazillion dollars, because he hand makes all of his pieces out of metals and stones.. 

Start saving kids.

(I cant upload photos because i cant get a hold of them, but check out the AVANT GARDE SECTION OF HIS WEBSITE for things like ALUMINIUM CORSETS, yep aluminium, you read that right!)

cintrine, ruby, and gold skeleton cathedral ring-- $3,500.00
This ring is made of 18ct yellow gold, oxidised sterling silver and a large citrine stone (12mm x 15mm). The skeletons are incredibly detailed and were initially hand carved out of wax. They are approximately 28mm long. There are small rubies set in their eye sockets and two larger baguette rubies set at their feet in the ring shank 



               Really Really Big Cathedral Ring-- $6,000.00

This ring is like a sculpture for the hand. It is huge, jutting out approximately 50mm above the knuckles! It is solid sterling silver, with a large central stone of 18mm x 18mm quartz crystal. Each claw setting for the quartz has a round garnet stone bezel set into it. There are four citrines, six crouching gargoyles, and two skulls incorporated into the design. 

The one that we have photographed here is made to fit a very large finger (size UK Z or US 12.5), and is 34mm wide, 80mm high in total, and 30mm thick. It weighs 90 grams




Now if rings are not your fortay or these are a liiiiittle bit out of your price range, you can check out the rest of his pieces, which are not as awesome, (Obviously), but pretty darn close and for a fraction of the price!....

$400.00 USD$220.00 USD
