Did you know that the first biker rings have been made in Mexico?

Those appeared after the Mexican revolution that basically destroyed the country’s economy. The inflation was so severe that Peso literally lost all its value. The artisans, however, found a way to utilize worthless coins. They melted them down and used the alloy to mold jewelry. Bikers who hung out in little towns near the Mexican border spotted these gripping rings. At that time, a Mexican ring cost only 5 bucks, so bikers could afford to rock them on every finger. The vintage biker rings were a little bit different than what we are used to today — they were yellow (because coins contained copper), didn’t feature any stone inlays but instead, they boasted carving and embossing with traditional Mexican symbolism — skulls, Indians, scorpions, eagles, etc.

There are many other symbols featuring in biker jewelry — skulls, Maltese crosses, dragons, eagles, Confederate flags, etc. We hope that our brief guide helped you understand biker culture a little bit better.
