The ossuary bracelet is not for the faint of heart. Weighing in at more than 165 grams of sterling silver, it is heavy and definitely makes a statement! An ossuary is defined as "a container or room in which the bones of dead people are placed." This bracelet was hand carved and cast with that in mind. It can serve as a piece of modern day memento mori. Each hand sculpted and fabricated bracelet is cast in sterling silver and finished by hand, including a patina to darken the recesses. It is strung on many elastic strands, so there is both ease of use as well as the security that if one strand breaks, they don't all fail. IF any problems occur with elastic breakage please contact me for complimentary repair (shipping charges will apply). 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.

It pairs perfectly with our Skull Cufflinks.

Your order will contain one sterling silver bracelet as seen in the photos. Due to the bespoke nature of the process, slight variations will naturally occur. Please allow up to four weeks for completion as each piece is made to order and will be uniquely yours.

Gold is available by special order, please inquire for pricing.

Care Instructions

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!
