History:
Silver skull rings have a long and rich history reaching back to prehistoric civilizations. Skulls have been utilised as symbols of death, mortality, and power throughout human history, and they have been integrated into jewellery designs for thousands of years.
One of the oldest known examples of a silver skull ring is from the Viking Age. Norse warriors used skull jewellery as a sign of strength and might. These rings were often crafted of silver or other precious metals and were worn as a mark of distinction.
Silver skull rings were popular among pirates and other naval adventures in the 16th and 17th centuries. Pirates would often wear skull rings to terrify their opponents and demonstrate that they were not afraid of death. These rings were occasionally etched with the phrase "memento mori," which means "remember that you shall die."
Throughout the twentieth century, silver skull rings were fashionable among bikers, rockers, and other counter-culture groups. These rings were often worn as a sign of revolt and nonconformity. Silver skull rings are still popular among those who admire its distinctive and edgy appearance.

In 1982 he took a part-time job in London’s Carnaby Street. Despite having no formal jewellery training at all Armand saw the potential of combining his drawing skills with his musical influences to develop what was soon to become “Classic Rock & Roll Jewellery”. By 1986 Armand’s jewellery creations started to generate press coverage.
