Skull-Candy Red

A crown of gilt and glass stones over a skull finished in candy-apple red, its surface worked with a dripping gold monogram until it reads like a relic from a very expensive afterlife. Neverland builds each one by hand in Key West, layering resin and metallic pigment until the color sits an inch deep, then sets the crown last. It is a memento mori that refuses to be solemn: a reminder that nothing lasts, delivered with a wink and a shine you can see your face in.

Lives well on a shelf, a bar, a desk, or a mantel.
