Memento Mori Necklace | Skull & Snake Talisman
Description
The skull in the memento mori tradition marks death as a fact to be accepted, the finite container of the infinite aspiration. The snake coiled around the skull adds the alchemical dimension: the serpent of transformation, the Ouroboros principle applied locally. The skull does not simply mark death. It marks the death that is also a shedding: the snake that leaves its old skin behind is not dying. It is completing the cycle that the old form had become too small to contain.
Skull and snake together say two things simultaneously: this ends, and this is how it becomes something else.
925 sterling silver base. Available in White Gold Plated, Yellow Gold Plated, and Rose Gold Plated finishes. Suspended on a matching chain.
Care
Your piece is made to last a lifetime, but it still deserves a little devotion. Keep it dry, store it away from other metals, and wipe it clean after wear. Small rituals like these are what keep a symbol sharp for years to come.
Design
Every piece begins as an idea worth carrying, then it's shaped, cast, and finished by hand until the symbol feels inevitable. This isn't decoration. It's craft made to mean something.
