Mors Pendant Necklace

Material Solid 925 Sterling Silver Finish Pendant: Oxidized and polishedChain: Oxidized and lightly polished Size Pendant (w/bail): approx 2.6cm tall, 1.5cm wideChain: 18"/20"/22"  Mors(Latin) noun. Death. Based off of the Mors ring, this Remains Jewelry Mors pendant features a skull with Mors text above. Mors is Latin for death. Skulls were commonly used in jewelry in the 16th and 17th centuries as a reminder of our own mortality (memento mori - latin for "remember that you must die"). Although this was originally used in a more religious context, we hope that wearing a memento mori piece will allow you to remember to treasure the life you live and enjoy it to its fullest.  The back of the pendant features an embossed cicada flying towards the moon. The moon is the alchemical symbol for silver, and is the metal that we make our pieces in. The cicada symbolizes rebirth, much like the rebirth of long-forgotten stories that Remains tries to bring new life to in our jewelry
