History
In Hinduism, the Nāgá, Sanskrit for Cobra, is revered as a nature spirit and guardian of springs, wells, and rivers. These serpentine beings possess the ability to assume human form, and according to ancient narratives, they exhibit vengeful tendencies only when subjected to mistreatment by humans.
The exceptionally intricate depiction of the snake has been meticulously carved into wax by TGF designer Reino, employing powerful magnifying glasses, a steady hand, and a wealth of artistic talent.
Great Frog is a London-based jewellery company recognised for its outlandish designs. Pat and Kipper, a couple, started the brand in 1972. They started by creating jewellery for rock singers such as Motörhead's Lemmy Kilmister and Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson.
The brand immediately achieved recognition and cult status in the rock and metal music sectors. The distinctive style of the Great Frog included heavy and elaborate silver decorations, sometimes with a macabre or occult undertone. Skull rings, animal designs, and elaborate chain necklaces are among the brand's hallmark items.
Great Frog's collections have evolved over time to incorporate a broader spectrum of styles, from delicate filigree pieces to dramatic statement pieces. Many artists and fashion designers, including Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, and the Rolling Stones, have also cooperated with the company.
Great Frog is still a favourite among singers, celebrities, and alternative fashion aficionados today. The company continues to develop one-of-a-kind and eccentric jewellery that sticks out from the crowd.
