Polly Wales has taken her signature skull design and made it into tiny, gold studs. The matte, 18K yellow gold skull is set with a round sparkling diamond and dark black sapphire in its third eye adding just a hint of contrast. These would look good as main earrings or in a second or third piercing.

18K yellow gold skull studs : just over 1/4" x just under 1/4"
diamonds : 2mm diameter each : ~.09cttw
black sapphires : 2mm x 1.5mm each : ~.0625cttw
18K yellow gold post backs

Polly Wales Jewelry

LOS ANGELES - Polly Wales studied Fine Art Sculpture before following her passion for jewelry and retraining at the Royal College of Art. Combining her skills as a sculptor, her love of traditional casting methods and her craftsmanship, she began to create one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry. Using sapphires, rubies and diamonds cast directly into rich gold, the end masterpieces resemble natural gem encrusted forms or sparkling geodes split open. This unorthodox approach to jewelry design has created a new and exciting niche in the world of fine jewelry design.
