Gothic & Skull Engagement Rings in Silver, 9ct & 18ct Gold

Gothic Engagement Rings for Unconventional Love Stories

Engagement rings don't have to be traditional. Hellcat's gothic engagement rings are designed for people drawn to something darker — skulls, bones, dramatic silhouettes, unusual gemstones and details inspired by gothic architecture, memento mori and the macabre.

From subtle gothic details to unapologetic skull engagement rings, every design puts a darker twist on the traditional engagement ring. Choose an existing Hellcat design or commission something completely bespoke.

Skull & Bone Engagement Rings

Skulls have been part of Hellcat since the beginning. Inspired by memento mori — the reminder that life is fleeting — they make a strangely fitting symbol for love, commitment and 'til death.

Our skull engagement rings range from delicate skull details to statement designs built around gemstones, while our bone rings use skeletal forms to create claws, settings and architectural details around the stone.

For something even darker, explore coffin shapes, black stones and gothic designs created to sit alongside matching or contrasting wedding rings.

Silver & Gold Gothic Engagement Rings

Hellcat engagement rings are available in sterling silver, 9ct gold and 18ct gold, allowing you to choose the metal that suits your style, budget and how you intend to wear your ring.

Silver gives gothic jewellery its unmistakable cool, dark character, particularly when paired with oxidised details. For an engagement ring designed for a lifetime of everyday wear, gold offers greater durability, with yellow, rose and white gold available across selected designs and bespoke commissions.

Every precious metal piece is hallmarked by the Birmingham Assay Office where legally required.

Gothic Gemstone & Diamond Engagement Rings

Forget the traditional white diamond if it isn't you.

Hellcat engagement rings can be made with an ever-changing selection of dark and unusual gemstones, including black spinel, garnet, sapphire, ruby, moissanite and diamonds. You'll also find one-of-a-kind stones with natural inclusions, unusual colours and cuts that make the finished ring completely individual.

Many designs offer a choice of gemstones, so you can make an existing Hellcat ring your own without commissioning an entirely bespoke piece.

Handmade in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter

Hellcat Jewellery was founded by designer and jeweller Jo Herriotts in 2014. Each ring begins with an original Hellcat design and is handcrafted in Birmingham's historic Jewellery Quarter — an area that has been at the heart of British jewellery making for more than two centuries.

Hellcat remains deliberately small and independent, combining traditional jewellery-making techniques with a love of gothic architecture, historical jewellery, death symbolism and the beautifully macabre.

The result is jewellery made slowly and intentionally, rather than mass-produced pieces designed to follow a trend.

Bespoke Gothic Engagement Rings

Can't find exactly what you have in mind? Hellcat also creates bespoke gothic engagement rings.

A bespoke commission can begin with an existing Hellcat design or something entirely new, incorporating your choice of metal, gemstones and details to create a ring personal to you.

From gothic cathedral architecture and skeletal settings to skulls, bats, bones and unusual gemstones, bespoke pieces are designed in Hellcat's distinctive style while telling your own story.
