The Skull Ring

This skull will sit proudly on any of your fingers! It can serve as a statement ring, or just a piece of memento mori- reminding the wearer of our impermanence. Each carved ring is cast in sterling silver and finished by hand, including a patina to darken the recesses. Slight variations will naturally occur. Memento mori (translated simply as "remember death") as well as mourning jewelry were most popular in the 17th through 19th centuries to remind us of the natural progression of life. It was meant to keep the idea of death as something not to fear; a reminder to live life to the fullest in order to stay happy until the very end, and sometimes a commemoration of a life that has already passed. This ring pairs perfectly with our Coffin and Skull Ring. Your order will contain one sterling silver ring as seen in the photos (stone setting not included). Due to the bespoke nature of the process, slight variations will naturally occur. Please allow up to eight weeks for completion
