Wraparound Memento Mori Skull Ring

This skull wraps around your finger, sometimes giving the illusion that it is a different design than what it actually is! It can serve as a piece of modern day memento mori. Each hand sculpted ring is cast in sterling silver and finished by hand, including a patina to darken the recesses. 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.
