Topic: help me to find keith skull ring! Return to archive
30th January 2007 05:27 PM
Fabio Hot Stuff I need help from you people!
A friend of mine is workin' to "built" the Keith skull ring.
I need some very close up pics to send her!
Or some web sites of other artist who just had the work,...I remember time ago some stuff here on the board...

A strange curiousity is that Keith doesn't have only ONE ring, but sure he got many, 'cause I check on bad photos but they are different for the shape.

all suggestion are welcome
thanks !

steel driving hammer Try calling your local mall rock and roll "I love black punk shit shop"

Trust me if I can get one here, you can get one there.

Only difference is I'm dressed in Polos, not black.
30th January 2007 05:36 PM
pdog eBay has some too.
i had a friend have a jeweler make one, the mold cost a shitload of money, but if you get lucky, maybe you'll find a jeweler who has done one already!
Stay away from malls, and polo shirts!
30th January 2007 05:36 PM
SweetVirginia There a lots of them on eBay.

Example:
http://cgi.ebay.com/KEITH-RICHARDS-SKULL-RING-Sz-7-5-100-Sterling-Silver_W0QQitemZ320074934159QQihZ011QQcategoryZ48766QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

steel driving hammer lol, he wants one now, Ebay take forever.

Mall is the best bet.

Tell ya, there's nothing more confusing than a clean cut, polo wearing, teeth brushing, handsome looking, Al Pacino eyes having, swish in my stepping, Stones loving, Republican voting stud muffing with a crack pipe in pants.

Thats all in the past, please don't tear me up...

he only wears the same one now for the simple reason that the arthritis in his fingers is so pronounced that he has been physically unable to remove it for the last decade.

There was one available on the official site for a limited time in early 1998. Thats where I got mine. Considering the tacky garbage that rs.com bombard us with on a regular basis, I'm amazed that they havent brought this piece of merchandise back in the last 9 years because there WOULD be a demand for it.

However, the design of the skull on the version that the fans were able to buy is SLIGHTLY different from the one that Keith has (as well as being smaller). Its not a replica, as such.

Fabio Hot Stuff Thanks guys but...I can't explain it!
my friend is jewellery artist and she needs to see the original skull , the more big is, the more she can work...
maybe I need a large pic of the cover of TALK IS CHEAP to see the skull...

the one on e-bay is not a keith skull original design...

I saw that on some fuckin' web site but i don't remember...

anyway thanks!

pdog Does he really need the "jaws of life" to take it off Gazza?

GotToRollMe I love that ring, but what I'd really like to get my hands on is the bracelet. I've never seen a decent replica of that anywhere.

oldkr actually Keith has and has had a bunch of skull rings and removes it regularly to have it cleaned and refinished, he had it on the 'wrong' finger at some B2B gigs also. The talk is cheap ring is a different ring from the B2B to now ring.

Fabio Hot Stuff Thanks OldKR,
what does it mean b2b?

I think the ring he have on Talk is Cheap is definitive THE KEITH SKULL RING, less stylized and lil' bit more realistic

oldkr b2b = Bridges To Babylon Tour

he must have had some treatment in recent years then to have been able to do that.

However, the arthritis problem as I understood it kicked in from around/after the BTB tour, not before.

oldkr agree on the arthritis, but yes he can remove it, its actually quite loose on his finger, thats why it's often turned around... I cant remember if its this ring or the last one but its a wrap around 'ring' part, rather than a solid one, could be one way he gets it off!
