DO IT UP WHILE YOU CAN.









DOUBLE KNUCKLE RAVEN SKULL RING...'TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE'

hand cast raven skulls in sterling silver with two adjoining handmade -hammered finish- sterling silver bands, oxidized for added charm.



The composition of Dallas Maynard Jewelry can be summed up into two words



...Morbidly Whimsical.


"Playfully quaint or fanciful-disorder and gloomy"...and no, these are not lyrics from a Morrissey song. They encompass the feeling of pretty yet odd... a mix of old with new... taking the 'norm' out of place and making people think.
With the combination of these eclectic inspirations comes functional art... and with that, you have Dallas Maynard Jewelry.

My inspiration of the Raven Skulls comes from Edgar Allan Poe's THE RAVEN...
something so tiny, majestic and hauntingly somber as the 'sweet' raven only seems fit for the birth of ideas...
