As you’re well aware we have a bit of a penchant for skulls in any context… so we thought we would bring this stunning artist to your attention. Born and raised in the Philippines, New Jersey-based artist Gregory Halili is deeply influenced by the wildlife he experienced as a child and his latest series of work involves a fusion of the human form with the natural world in these amazing bas-relief shell skulls. Halili carves and then paints with oil on raw, gold-lip and black-lip mother of pearl found in shells collected from the Philippines – truly incredible craftsmanship! If you happen to be in New York, his pieces will soon be exhibited at the Nancy Hoffman Gallery.

Made in our London workshop
The giving
A heart they have to break
Every piece arrives in a Stephen Einhorn box. For the ones that should be remembered, we wrap the piece in soft cloth and seal it inside a plaster heart, hand painted in the colour you choose. To reach what is inside, they have to crack it open.
Personalised
Engraved by hand
Almost everything we make can be engraved by hand in our workshop: initials on the face of a signet, a date inside a ring, a line only they will understand. Engraved pieces cannot be returned, so if you are unsure of the size, order it plain and we will engrave it afterwards.
