reimagined V I N T A G E // memento mori / 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 a vintage slightly rosy yellow 14k gold fraternal pin paired with a true yellow gold 14k and diamond brutalist band. the skull's face has new diamond eyes, replacing the old synthetic ruby eyes
this one's band was a gigantic project. it once featured three settings, one of which was beyond repair, one was holding a very broken diamond and it's been re-worked to offer it a new life
*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, *listing is for the skull ring only. any other jewelry shown is for styling inspiration, only*
