Although I would prefer this ring with a skull. The diamond had/still has more of a connection and history than this brand new reproduction skull and since the diamond was/is still historically linked to this ring, the diamond should've been offered with this ring at auction Imo and have no problems with the originality of this ring.
Wontan, Good eye. I was wondering about those lines or cracks myself. I find it very interesting, I wish we had it in hand and could take a loop to it. But what I find really weird and very interesting is in most of the areas where there is a crack you find the engraving stops, nothing, gone and it looks like it was never engraved beyond those cracks or lines. Do you think these lines, cracks, whatever they are were present before the engraving? I don't know, so I didn't call them casting marks because sometimes cracks can be caused by extreme pressure.
Thanks.
