Skull Bone Dagger Pendant — .925 Sterling Silver
SKU: 2946
A skull sits on top of a dagger, and below it two crossed bones form the guard, wrapped in curved claw-like scrollwork. The skull face has deep eye sockets and a row of bared teeth, while the blade below stays smooth and polished as it narrows to a point. At 11 grams and 7/8" × 2 ¼" in .925 sterling silver, this skull bone dagger pendant has enough detail to hold attention up close without being so heavy it pulls your necklace forward.
Wear This If
If you want a skull pendant that isn't just a skull — The dagger-and-bone combination adds a second design layer. It tells a story that a plain skull face can't. The crossed bones and claw scrollwork at the guard add a raw, skeletal layer above the clean line of the blade.
If you prefer lightweight pendants — 11 grams is light enough to wear all day on a thin chain or leather cord without the pendant bouncing or dragging. If 30–50 gram pendants feel too heavy around your neck, this is the weight class that works for daily wear.
If you build your own necklace combos — Pendant only — no chain included. The bail fits standard chains and leather cords up to about 3mm. Choose your own chain length, material, and style to match how you wear it.
Living With This Pendant
The guard is the detail that rewards close inspection. Two bone ends cross behind the skull, each finished with a rounded knob, and curved claw-like scrollwork wraps around them where they meet the blade. Below that the blade changes character completely — one smooth, satin-polished face with a raised centre ridge running down to the point.
The skull at the top has enough depth in the eye sockets and jaw to hold natural shadow. Under bright light, the forehead and cheekbones catch reflections while the eyes stay dark. The overall proportions — skull slightly wider than the blade — give the pendant a top-heavy silhouette that hangs straight on a cord.
At 7/8" × 2 ¼", it's a medium-sized pendant. Not as large as the 3-inch skull dagger pendants in the catalog, but big enough that the design reads from arm's length. On a 20–22" chain, it sits at the upper chest area.
What's Inside
Good Questions
Q: What kind of chain works best with this pendant?
At 11 grams, it doesn't need a heavy chain. A 2–3mm silver curb chain or box chain works well. A leather cord gives it a more rugged look. The bail opening fits standard chains — nothing specialty needed.
Q: Is the blade textured or smooth?
Smooth. The blade is one polished face with a raised centre ridge, and the only relief on the front sits above it — the crossed bones and the claw scrollwork at the guard. The whole pendant is individually cast, then hand-finished, so those raised edges stay crisp.
Q: How does this compare to the larger skull dagger pendants?
This one is 7/8" × 2 ¼" at 11 grams — the mid-size option. The larger version is 1 ¾" × 3" at 50 grams. If you want presence without the weight, this is the lighter choice. If you want maximum impact, look at the bigger one.
