A Frieze of Skulls Rather Than a Pendant
These skull hoop earrings made of stainless steel feature several carved heads lined up along the ring, pressed against one another. The hoop is not a base for a motif: it is the motif. Find this product in our Viking earrings collection.
For the same style in a discreet format, see our polished steel skull studs.
What Distinguishes This Pair
Where a dangling earring hangs an object below the lobe, the hoop spreads its subject across the entire circumference.
- Continuous motif: skulls follow one another along the ring, revealed as you turn your head.
- Visible in profile: this is the angle from which an earring is most often seen.
- Closed ring: no hook or moving part, nothing that dangles or opens on its own.
- Bold relief: each skull retains its hollowed-out eye sockets despite the repetition of the pattern.
For a ring with an animal rather than a macabre motif, look at our dragon head hoop earrings.

Did you know?
Repeating the same motif along a band is one of the founding principles of Scandinavian art. On the Jelling runestones as well as on the portals of Norwegian stave churches, beasts are never represented in isolation: they are linked, interlaced, and knotted into a continuous line that fills all available space. Archaeologists have named these decorative grammars after their discovery sites—Borre, Jelling, Mammen, or Urnes style. This hoop applies the same principle to a motif that, in this case, is not Nordic.

How many skulls are on the hoop?
The motif repeats as a frieze around the entire circumference of the hoop. The exact number varies slightly from batch to batch, but the effect stays the same: a continuous row rather than a single skull.
Does the hoop open easily?
It is a closed, hinged hoop: it clicks shut and stays in place. No part hangs down, so nothing gets pulled when you get dressed.
Is this a Viking motif?
No. The skull belongs to biker and gothic fashion. However, the way the motif repeats as a frieze follows a real principle of Scandinavian art, in which beasts are linked together without beginning or end.
Is it suitable for cartilage rather than the lobe?
No, it is designed for the lobe. Wearing it in cartilage depends on the gauge of your piercing and how well it has healed: ask your piercer before trying.
