skull necklace pendant - memento mori jewelry
A sweet little sterling silver skull wax seal necklace pendant, full of texture ... meaningful wax seal jewelry.
- symbolism -
In heraldry, the skull is symbolic of mortality and a reminder that death comes to all living things ... the Latin sentiment MEMENTO MORI means remember your death and is meant to inspire you to intentionally think about your own death every day, as a means of appreciating the present and focus on the future.
- approximate measurement - between 3/8” and 1/2" x 5/8" including the bony looking loop (11mm x 16mm) x 1/8" (3mm) thickness like a small tablet
- charm metal - sterling silver (.925 silver)
- skull charm only - chain sold separately here.
- photographed with a US dime and inch ruler for scale
Carved in wax and sand cast right here in my little studio ... hand crafted jewelry because how its made matters.
More chains, charm catchers and swivel fobs are available here. And if you'd prefer an oxidized chain (antiqued) to the shiny chain shown, simply make this request at checkout in the "add a note to your order" box.
