Under warm light it reads as antique gold against cooler silver. After a few months of daily wear, the silver recesses darken while the gold areas stay bright. The skull gains more visual depth over time. That two-tone aging is the whole point of this finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#fff8f0; border-inline-start:4px solid #a04f2e; padding:12px 16px; margin:16px 0; border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0; color:#2c2c2c; line-height:1.8;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#a04f2e;\"\u003eHeads up:\u003c\/strong\u003e The bail opening is 5mm.
