In the Victorian era, the skull and crossbones was also known as the memento mori-a reminder to live fully, love deeply, and hold the people who matter close while you still can. Mourning jewelry carried this symbol not as a sign of death, but as a declaration of devotion to the life and love left behind.
The Mourning Memento Ring is crafted in 18k gold vermeil over sterling silver, centered with a sculpted skull and crossbones set against black and ivory enamel. A halo of pearls surrounds the motif, each one a Victorian symbol of purity, memory, and continuity. The wide band is engraved with intricate detailing echoing Victorian craftsmanship that is meant to be discovered slowly, worn daily, and passed to the next generation.
The Mourning Memento Ring draws from the tender darkness of Victorian mourning jewelry, bold enough to be seen, deep enough to be felt.
