Femur Ring
Femur Ring
This ring depicts the top of the human femur bone! It is the strongest and longest bone in the human body and has been studied throughout history. Each hand sculpted ring is cast in sterling silver and finished by hand, including a patina to darken the recesses. Your order will contain one sterling silver ring as seen in the photos.
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.
Due to the bespoke nature of the process, slight variations will naturally occur. Please allow up to eight weeks for completion as each piece is made to order and will be uniquely yours.

Buff with a polishing cloth from time to time as needed or preferred. Sterling silver will naturally develop more patina and character over time depending on factors such as skin contact, burnishing, and natural wear. It is a very easy material to take care of!
