Jewelry wizard Wendy Brandes has a variety of treasures under her creative belt – recent demiCouture favorites include the swear rings and Matilda sword necklace.

The king – err, queen – of her collection can be nothing less than the very poisonous, yet enticing Marie Antoinette ring.  It’s brutally beautiful, and something that could never be anything less than a statement piece.

Check out the the root-like, leeching claws that hold the amethyst in place; they’re covered in 118 green tsavorite stones – deadly, and amazing.

For those trust funders out there interested in this piece, it’s $12,500 US.
