Ruby Inset Eyes Memento Mori Silver Necklace - Sterling Silver Bale

Description

There is a long history of Memento Mori reminders, including coins. We have added our own spin on the concept and included a new reverse side, “Memento Vivere” which translates to “remember that you have to live.” We believe there is a beautiful balance between accepting mortality and embracing life. Memento mori (Latin: "Remember that you have to die.") is the medieval Latin Christian theory and practice of reflection on mortality. Especially as a means of considering the vanity of earthly life and the transient nature of all earthly goods and pursuits. Memento vivere (Latin: "Remember you have to live.") Know that your time is short in the grand scheme of things. So have fun while you are here. • 1" (2.5 cm) diameter • Inset lab-grown ruby eyes (2x 2.5mm Mori side / 1x 3mm & 1x 2mm Vivere side) • Bottom edge is stamped with "999 FS" meaning (99.9% Fine Silver)
