Momento Mori Diamond Skull Snake Ring 18ct Gold

Product Details

This fabulous 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.

Snakes represent friendship and eternal love.

Diamonds are set into the Gold skull and a Diamond is crowned upon the snakes head.

The Diamonds have superb clarity and colour, captivating the allure of natures beauty.

Diamond is the hardest mineral on Earth and this combined with its exceptional lustre and brilliant fire has made it the most highly prized of all gems.

Rubies are also set into the eyes of the snake.

The Ruby is considered to be the most powerful gem of the universe, given as a gift, the ruby is a symbol of friendship and love.

Ruby is also the symbol of vitality and loyalty.
