Skull & Mushroom Charm Necklace

Made with recycled sterling silver Comes on a simple sterling silver 18" cable chain with spring ring clasp A reminder that life is fleeting! In this macabre scene mushrooms sprout inside a human skull, transforming dead matter into fertile soil making way for something new. It is a story of loss, transformation, and hope. Centuries ago jewelry was created to remind people of their own mortality. Referred to as Memento Mori - meaning "remember you must die" - this jewelry served as a warning to prepare ourselves for whatever other realm awaits us. Only jewelry can convey a harsh reality in such elegant form. By Nina Designs
