Life's pretty good, and why wouldn't it be? I'm a pirate, after all. - Johnny Depp.

I have spotted these Alexander McQueen Swarovski skull rings in so many different places over the past few days, I'm beginning to feel like they're stalking me, trying to catch my eye and pull on my heart strings.  If this is indeed their intention, I would be inclined to suggest that they are succeeding - I've always been a fan of McQueen and his trademark skull designs, having lusted after that scarf from the moment I first set eyes on it, however these wonderful cocktail rings go a step further, bringing together a blissful combination of some of my very favourite things - obnoxiously large rings, sparkly Swarovski crystals and Alexander McQueen's winning designs - how could I fail to fall absolutely, head-over-heels in love with them?!

Now I just need to decide which one I love more (I'm leaning towards the silver at the moment), and find somebody who loves me enough to spend £180 on outrageous jewellery for no real reason - shouldn't be too difficult, right??
