Seasoned designer John Varvatos manages once again to create a contemporary piece with underground elements that successfully merges black and amber colors into a work of art that exudes rock ‘n’ roll spirit.
He used premium Italian brass to cast and shape skull beads because of its unique color. When it comes to esthetics, it glamorously offsets the dominating black tones of the mated beads. But more importantly, Italian brass doesn’t tarnish. The way it looks when it arrives at your door is the way it will look a couple of decades down the line. Its soft yet durable structure allows a greater level of detail, which is why these miniature skulls look so realistic.
Black beads are a dominating feature in a rosary-inspired composition. Their mated finish allows the brass features to attract more attention and serve as a focal point. Skulls are a signature choice for metal features in most John Varvatos collections. Like every brass feature on this piece, these skulls are handcrafted.
Final touch is the fold over clasp which is also done in a signature Varvatos fashion. That’s easy to tell, because of an additional miniature skull at its tip.
