the most recent manifestation of the memento mori ring project going on 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 new 14k yellow gold original design skull modeled after skull pins of yesteryear paired with a 14k yellow gold classic diamond band. yes, indeed, all of the stones you see are natural diamonds.

C O N D I T I O N
in good upcycled condition
when the skulls are cast they have a slightly organic, matte surface texture, which is has been mostly polished to a higher shine
the diamond eyes are a different cut, clarity, and color than the diamonds in the vintage band, but they're a pretty close match
the band originally had seven diamonds, the three center stones were removed and that real estate is now where the skull rests atop the band — an intentional choice so that this band can easily stack with other rings
solder marks visible where the skull was joined with the setting
the stones in the band are free from damage, but will show minor surface wear under magnification
the vintage band shows surface scratches, dents, dings, and dulling
