DATE: Vintage, c.1970

A cool Vintage statement ring modelled in silver throughout. The head (literally) is formed as a skull and crossbones, a powerful ancient symbol... It's finished with strikingly realistic details, the nose, the eyes and the teeth! Dates to circa 1970. 

As well as looking badass, the skull symbolizes memento mori. The concept of Memento Mori, remember that you will die, has been around since ancient times; indeed, probably for as long as humans have existed. These words have echoed throughout the ages, and serve as a reminder of the transient nature of life. They urge us to reflect on mortality in order to make the most of each moment, to better ourselves, and to fully engage with life.
