Notice the shape and relationship and of the Ty-Rune circle to the border on the top of the band. Compare to your 2nd pic.

Notice how, even on a worn ring, the top border is still distinct. As the ring wears, the leaves simply blend into the border. Compare to your photo.

As an overview, the things that bother me the most are the large casting flaw and the casting seam on the inside, and also the comparisons of the Ty-Rune shape and placement. Also pay close attention to the ends of the leaf tips and their relationship to the borders. Especially the large leaf to the left of the Ty-Rune. Even on a mint original, this leaf usually touches the border and becomes part of it. Also, compare the bottom of both skulls. On the example I posted, the skull and bones are more obvious they're one piece. There ARE things I DO like, but the huge flaw and casting seam on the inside just wouldn't be there on an original, iIMO.
