Memento Mori, Latin for “Remember you must die” is a phrase that is said to have originated in ancient Rome, but has long since been embraced throughout religion and stoicism philosophy, with gained popularity in jewellery during the Victorian Era.

Where the onyx coffin serves as a reminder of our mortality to live fully and virtuously, the brass ourobouros snake symbolizes the cyclical nature of all things; that phases throughout our life must also die to be reborn into something greater.

This talisman of truth and regeneration hangs from an 18” gold-filled satellite chain.
