Details
A striking Memento Mori style band ring depicting a coiled snake biting its tail which has long been a symbol of eternal Love. A glistening Silver Skull also sits between the head and tail and is encrusted with Rose cut Diamonds.
Memento mori is Latin for āRemember that you have to dieā. This style of jewellery was popular in the 18th and 19th Century and was decorated with skulls, crossbones and coffins which seem macabre today but these pieces were a reminder to cherish each waking day.
The band is all 18ct Yellow Gold with beautiful engraved scales and patterning. It looks wonderful wrapped around the finger.
