Georgian Style Memento Mori Locket Ring With Diamond Skull

This ingenious Georgian-inspired Memento Mori locket ring conceals a spooky surprise within. On its surface, a grand but unassuming signet ring, but its polished, domed front is in fact a secret locket hatch that opens to reveal a small skull and crossbones underneath, dotted with twinkling diamond eyes.

Such macabre imagery was common in Georgian Memento Mori jewellery, which literally translates as “Remember you will die”. The pieces were commonly decorated with skulls, crossbones, and coffins, but the morbid themes were not a celebration of death, rather a reminder to live your life well and cherish each waking day.

Modelled in solid 15ct yellow gold, this playful Memento Mori skull ring is a fantastic conversation piece and is smooth to the touch, with scrolled embellishments down the shoulders. It’s a unique statement piece and a wonderful reminder to live life to its fullest.
