Skull Cufflinks

Sterling silver skull cufflinks! What more could the refined gentleman (or woman, or person) ask for? Remind everyone at the next board meeting or black tie of the idea of memento mori! One set (for two sleeves). This set has been hand carved and cast in solid sterling silver, then finished with an organic patina to darken the surface. Your order will contain one pair of sterling silver cufflinks 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.

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.
