1950s Mexican Biker Ring - Skull & Cross Bones

Vintage Mexican Biker Rings — Deadstock 1950s Collection

These rings have a story that began over a century ago. When the Mexican Revolution swept through the country in the early 1900s, the peso lost its value, and people began melting down worthless coins, experimenting until they produced something of worth. That trial-and-error craft gave birth to the ring that would later become known as the biker ring.

In the 1940s, American bikers touring along the Mexican border discovered these rings and bought them as souvenirs for friends back home — sparking their popularity that continues to this day.

This new shipment is a small, carefully selected pieces of deadstock 1950s rings found in Mexico City, still wrapped in original newspaper dated 1958. This piece features the "Skull & Cross Bones”.

Every piece is cleaned and polished by hand before it reaches the store floor, so each ring arrives ready to wear and display.

Relive the shipping era and take a look back at the 1950s. We've already begun selling these in-store and will be introducing them here online little by little. A very limited range of sizes is available — if you're interested, please stop by the store and try them on.

While many reproductions of Mexican rings are on the market, the authentic pieces — with their genuine roots — carry a different aura entirely.

Souvenir jackets (Sukajan) were made by Japanese craftsmen who, through hard times and desperate measures, produced them to sell as souvenirs and survive after the war.

Mexican rings were born from fine jewelers' trial and error, crafted to be sold as souvenirs at a price higher than the peso's value.

To embrace authenticity is also to return to your roots.
