MEMENTO MORI :: Belle Morte No.2 :: Skull and Serpents Ring
$145.00
Hand carved from my Simple Signet base, this simplified and stylized Skull and Serpent ring makes you feel powerful and cool. Because this ring is badass, like you.
"Memento mori jewelry is the name given to sixteenth through eighteenth-century jewelry that was created as a reminder of the inevitability of death and the need to live piously. Translation from Latin, “remember you must die,” is very clearly indicative of the objective of the theme."
While I'm not leaning into any sort of pious ideology (I will consume ALL the chocolate and romance novels I want, thank you very much) I do love the idea of reminding myself to LIVE, now, and embracing all that this one precious life has to offer, because this one life is, maybe, all we get.
The skull reminds us that there is an ending, but the serpents remind us that perhaps this end is the beginning of something new, something better.
The serpents remind us that we can shed the things that hold us back, that we can transform, renew and EXPAND into what we want to become. We can emerge from an old idea and embrace a new one.
