reimagined V I N T A G E // memento mori / solid 14k yellow gold and diamond skull ring / Memento Mori / size 7.5

the most recent manifestation of the memento mori conversion ring project I seem to have going over here. a wearable prayer about being present and grateful and aware of our mortality, rather than floating through this lifetime with the illusion of forever ahead of us.

this is a true one of a kind. each one of the memento mori rings has its own personality, and per usual, this is crafted from an antique 14k fraternal pin paired with a 14k and diamond half eternity band. the skull's face has new diamond eyes, replacing the old synthetic ruby eyes

the skull's face is very very slightly rosier in hue than the 10k yellow gold band

the original fraternal Greek inlaid enamel letters have been hand filed off of the skull's forehead and the whole piece carefully designed and assembled to make it a perfect stacking ring.
