This ornate Memento Mori skull and snake necklace has beencreated as a tribute to honor the historical artform of mourning jewelry; the Latin words Memento Mori translate to "we all must die”. A frequently misinterpreted tradition that is often considered to be a dark reminder of our immortal nature, while it is in fact more intended to commemorate and celebrate a life. These sentimental keepsakes help us remember that in the balance of all things, there is always light (life), just as there is dark (death). The beauty of this balance is reflected in each piece of the Memento Mori collection, using common themes such as skulls, flowers, and serpents, which endearingly represent eternal love.

The medallion is composed of heavily plated 18K gold over sterling silver

Chain choices include 18K gold plated sterling silver or dark rhodium plated sterling silver.
