A collector's must-have, Mexican biker rings, also known as souvenir rings or knuckle dusters, were first introduced by rebel bikers traveling through border towns. Following the Mexican Revolution, the peso's decline in value prompted skilled Mexican craftsmen to transform them into intricate rings, which were then sold as souvenirs for a higher price. In the 1940s, these rings became popular among tough bikers as a way to circumvent the law's ban on brass knuckles. This bold and distinctive style remains a timeless symbol of rebellion.
