Gold Signet Ring Skull Crest Ring Black Diamond Memento Mori
Designer: J DAUPHIN
The Skull Signet Ring is handcrafted in sterling silver plated with 14k gold, with a sculptural skull set within a crest across the face and accented by black diamonds. The surface is polished with an antique patina. Made to order in your size.
The skull is the oldest memento mori, worn not to summon death but to keep it in view, on the understanding that a person who remembers the end lives the time before it more honestly, anchored in what endures rather than what passes. The crest sets that reminder into the language of lineage, a mark carried and handed on. Black diamond is carbon brought under the greatest pressure into the hardest and most enduring form there is, holding its shape under any weight, the proof that what is formed under the most pressure gives the steadiest protection.
