They were sold through 10 Corso Como Comme des Garçons and are understood to have barely reached the shop floor, which is why they are almost never seen today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two rings are a matched pair in different scales: the larger measures about 32 x 32 x 22 mm and weighs around 35 g, the smaller about 27 x 27 x 18 mm and around 21 g. Both are heavy, smoothly modelled skulls with deep eye sockets and a full row of teeth, cast in silver, with the hallmarks set to the sides of the shank so they can be resized without loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe larger ring is Japanese size 18 (about US 8.5), as originally made. The smaller was resized from about Japanese 5 to 8 (about US 4.5). The backs of the skulls are hollow, so both wear one to two sizes larger than marked; a jeweller can adjust either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey come in the original black Junya Watanabe MAN ring box, a striking piece of Comme des Garçons accessory history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Junya Watanabe MAN and MAN Pink x dip (Kiyoshi Ohgaku)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn\/Winter 2005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel \/ ref:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skull ring pair, 10 Corso Como exclusive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver with natural patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTagged size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese 18 (about US 8.5) and Japanese 8 (about US 4.5, resized)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large 32 x 32 x 22 mm, about 35 g · Small 27 x 27 x 18 mm, about 21 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Both rings and the original Junya Watanabe MAN ring box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorn for several seasons; vintage condition consistent with age.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight tarnish and small surface scratches; silver can be polished at any time or left to age.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe smaller ring has been professionally resized from Japanese 5 to 8.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo cracks or structural damage noted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eB\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe labels, materials, stitching, hardware and construction are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch; anything that cannot be confirmed is stated plainly in the description.
