Q: �The one issue I would like to see addressed is: What was the purpose of the joining seam ...... ?�
A: �The ..... reason for the seam behind the skull ..... is for sizing ..... whether the ring is made as a circle or made flat .....�.
From individual to individual, finger size is going to vary quite a bit. Most of the rings (of all types) that we see in general circulation that have been sized. Were sized to accommodate the wearer, and have the seams on the bottom where it is the least visible.
With the TKR the seam not only allowed sizing, with the Skull concealing the seam. The uppermost seam location also allowed the symbolism of the exterior design to be preserved intact.
Some of the rest is going to require a little thought to better illustrate some of the issues.
Best Regards to All, Fred
