Impressed from a replica skull signet ring.  I've been holding onto this one for a really long time, unsure about using the signet ring to create a necklace since it's based on an amazing antique signet ring (around 1619) found in a huge excavation project in Virginia, of the first English settlers, and now part of a museum collection.  Otherwise, my entire jewelry collection is created with actual historic antique seals so therein lies my conundrum.

More chains, charm catchers and swivel fobs are available here.

Impressed with history!
