The Raven Skull Ring is a ring in 925 sterling silver carrying the skull of a raven rather than the living bird, beak and cranium modeled as bare bone. The raven appears across many mythologies as a bird of knowledge, omen and transformation, and it is the bird most often placed at the edge of death.Choosing the skull instead of the bird is what the design turns on: it states the raven's link to that edge plainly instead of implying it through feathers and flight. The raven skull stands for transformation and for the knowledge that comes after loss, worn as a symbol rather than as a religious piece.
