Overview
Straight out of a Victorian nightmare, hand-crafted to chill you to the core! The metal on display is second only to the mettle of the man that is the Dentist to the Damned! Ryk Maverick hand-crafted this truly amazing and frightening set of full-sized cobalt chrome vampire fangs, taking the spirit of the source inspiration and adding his own 'twist'. This one-of-a-kind full set of terrifying teeth is comprised of twenty-eight individual cobalt teeth, positioned on copper gums and affixed to a vintage steel dental articulator! Before you think any part of this is ordinary (and we couldn't imagine how you'd think such a thing) let's walk through the entire piece. The vintage dental articulator was sourced by Ryk in his endless search for incredible pieces that tell a story. They are big, heavy-duty, fully functional and totally badass - something straight out of a horror story. If you were looking to make a career change into Orthodontistry for the Occult and need some tools to aid in your depraved dental work, you are in the right place. Affixed to the articulator plate are the top and bottom 'gums', hand carved with incredible details of the sinewy base, cast from solid copper and finished given a 'damned-flesh' patina finish. Mounted on the gums are the piece de resistance: the custom cobalt chrome teeth! Twenty-eight teeth and fangs have been hand carved, cast, minutely detailed and positioned just like your own set with a polished finish. They are worn, chipped, crooked and ready for an overhaul after centuries of bone breaking and blood sucking. Each of the fangs have been given a multi-faceted 'twist' design, because whomever these belong to has style! Since they are cobalt, they will not patina and will always have that sleek, bloodthirsty look. Straight from the magic workbench of the main man himself after hours of painstaking work, Ryk Maverick crafted an heirloom quality piece that is unlike anything you have ever seen before!
What is Ryk Maverick Personal Collection? Ryk is intimately involved in all aspects of Starlingear. Not a single production piece leaves the shop without him inspecting and hand stamping the wax where it is then up to the small, skilled craftsmen in the Starlingear shop to finish the piece out. However, from time to time, as schedule and inspiration allows, Ryk will fabricate totally custom pieces from start to finish. These items are truly one off by the artist and often feature special designs, materials etc.
