Memento Mori is a Latin phrase meaning ‘remember that you must die’. The stoics believed that a healthy relationship with mortality led to gratitude, sense of urgency, and ultimately living a more meaningful life. Memorial jewelry, popularized in the Victorian era, acted as a visual reminder of loved ones who’d passed and prompted the wearer to live for the moment. This collection reminds us that we’re just passing through, and just how thin the filament is, between this world and the other side.
