A sweet little sterling silver skull wax seal necklace pendant, inspired by the skulls on colonial 18th century New England slate gravestones, 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.
