{"product_id":"half-skull-half-face-ring-ldd200","title":"Half Skull Half Face Sterling Silver Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are philosophies that wear themselves on the hand.\n\nThis ring does not hedge. One half of the face stares back at you whole and human; the other half resolves into bare bone, a skull rendered in precise, unflinching relief. The contrast is not morbid theatre but a very old idea, present in temple iconography from Varanasi to the Deccan, in the ardhanarishvara principle of duality held in a single form. Here, that idea is worked in sterling silver, hand-carved and cast so that the transition between flesh and ossature reads as a single continuous thought rather than two competing images. The surface is left with a deliberate oxidised depth in the recessed areas, which throws the raised anatomy into sharp contrast. The ring stands 0.75 inches, or just under two centimetres, in height, and weighs a substantial twenty grams. Size 13 makes it a statement on broader fingers, sitting with authority on the index or middle finger.\n\nWear it against a bone-white linen kurta at a gallery opening, where it will hold its own beside contemporary art without explanation. Paired with a black silk bandhgala at a winter wedding reception, it reads as precisely the kind of considered choice that needs no accessory to compete with.\n\nThe sterling silver construction means the ring resists daily wear without fragility. The weight is present and grounding. Clean with a soft cloth to maintain the finish, and store away from moisture to preserve the oxidised contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sterling Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 inch Height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20.0 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e LDD200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Exotic India","offers":[{"title":"13","offer_id":67888836837596,"sku":"LDD200-13","price":20600.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/4082\/6588\/files\/ldd200.webp?v=1792845265","url":"https:\/\/exoticindia.co.in\/products\/half-skull-half-face-ring-ldd200","provider":"Exotic India Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
