reimagined V I N T A G E // memento mori vision / 10k memento mori evil eye signet ring / size 6.5

perspective is everything, my grandfather would say. he was acutely aware of his mortality and unconvinced there might be an afterlife, so he lived with the fullest memento mori sentiments — an example for all of us.

this signet is a wearable, visual reminder of our perceptions beyond eyesight and the importance of living into this lifetime. 

10k yellow gold antique signet re-worked with new engraving and fresh diamonds set in the skull's eyes. see that cute inverted heart nose? yeah, that's a very intentional design detail.

while this motif will likely show up on future signets and bands, this is a true one of a kind pairing of an older ring and this modern take on a memento mori design

C O N D I T I O N 

in good re-worked vintage condition

the signet is sturdy, but it shows plenty of wear:
-significant fading to the design details on the shoulders of the signet
-band is slightly out of round with some minors bends
-surface scratches, dents, dings, dulling, wear, patina, and signs of having been worn and loved

the new engraving is crisp and precise and was done by hand so it will have natural variations

diamond eyes are new and free from wear

some patina was added to the engraved details, giving it a slightly rosy hue — over time the patina in the recessed details with remain and the patina on the face of the signet will wear away
