Product Details

This 18ct Yellow Gold Memento Mori Diamond Skull and Snake ring is stunning.

Skull jewellery (Memento Mori) is very collectable.

Memento Mori means "Remember that you must die" and to cherish each day as it is a reminder of the imminence of both death and the hazards of life.

During the 17th Century Memento Mori jewellery was decorated with skulls, crossbones, skeletons, coffins, and worms which all seems very macabre to us today.
