Like a scene out of an Ingmar Bergman film, you might be unwittingly challenging the Grim Reaper to a game of chess by donning this Gareth Pugh ring in the shape of a scythe. But no matter, because your hand will look smashing as it fatefully exposes your king to Death’s queen.

Made in Italy from frosted silver and leather, the men’s ring is destined to become another signature example of retro-ironic goth from London’s dark prince.
