Georgian Style Memento Mori Diamond Skull Ring With Ruby Eyes

Details

A remarkable Memento Mori inspired skull ring encrusted with twinkling rose cut diamonds across the front (approx. 0.80ct total) with two deep red rose cut rubies set in the eyes (approx. 0.15ct each). 

Such macabre imagery was common in Memento Mori jewellery, which literally translates as “Remember you will die”. The pieces were commonly decorated with skulls, crossbones, and coffins but the morbid themes were not a celebration of death, rather a reminder to live your life well and cherish each waking day.

The skull is modelled in silver and joins a 15ct yellow gold band at the back, engraved with scrolled decoration down each shoulder. It’s a spectacular statement piece and very individual.
