A duet of solitary tiny sterling silver skull wax seal dangle earrings... memento mori! These little sterling silver skull earrings are captivating treasures reminding us that death comes to all living things.

You could leave life right now... let that determine what you do and say and think ~ Aurelius

- symbolism -
In heraldry, the skull symbolizes mortality so make now matter.

Hand cast from just a portion of an antique Georgian wheel wax seal (1714 - 1830), shown in the last photograph but not available for purchase.
The full size wax seal depicts the skull surrounded by Latin words ES FUI SUM ERIS which translate AS YOU ARE NOW SO ONCE WAS I, AS I AM NOW SO MUST YOU BE or YOU ARE AS I HAVE BEEN, YOU WILL BE AS I AM 

- approximate measurement - almost 3/8” (8mm)
- shown with an old US dime, same size as a current dime
- wax seal charm metal - sterling silver (.925 silver)
- ear wires - sterling silver
- little plugs for the ear wires are included so that if you use them you won't lose an earring

Impressed with history!
