Sterling Silver "Memento Mori Carpe Diem" Ring
I’ve made this design in a pendant for a while now and I’ve had quite a few people ask for it in a ring. Usually I fabricate them using the pendant but I’ve done enough now that I should just cast them,… so now I do. Cast in Sterling Silver with a substantial band and a couple skulls on the sides this one is a heavy duty beauty. The phrase “Memento Mori Carpe Diem” embossed on the top is Latin. Loosely translated to “ Know that you must die, so seize the day”, words to live by! .
I acid wash these before polishing to darken the background and also hammer distress the band to give it a more rugged appearance. As the models for these are 3d printed in a castable wax before casting the size of them is appropriate to the band size. Smaller the ring, smaller the top.
Coin pictured not included.
(Legal disclaimer: Each item I make is hand-worked, they can include minor flaws and imperfections. This is normal and I feel it truly adds to their charm. For shipping to countries outside the United States, it can take up to 4-6 weeks and all country specific taxes, and or duty, are not included.)
