BLK AND NOIR on 30th Jan 2023

Our Memento Mori jewelry has been a consistent choice of our customers. Why wouldn't it be? Since 2020, it has been overly present in our lives through pandemics, wars, disasters,climate change and even pop culture. Death, sadly is the only constant in our life.

Death is much more... simple. After a few months it gets more interesting.

Then after a year it finally becomes... romantic.

"Memento Mori" is a Latin phrase meaning "remember you will die" and is a reminder to live life to the fullest and appreciate the present moment. In the modern world, the concept can be applied as a reminder to focus on what truly matters in life, such as relationships and experiences, instead of material possessions. It can also encourage people to prioritize self-reflection and growth, and to avoid wasting time on things that do not matter in the grand scheme of things.

Wearing "Memento Mori" jewelry has a rich history, dating back to the medieval and Renaissance periods, when it was common to wear jewelry, such as rings or pendants, as a symbol of the inevitability of death and to serve as a daily reminder to live life to the fullest.

In the present day, the tradition of wearing "Memento Mori" jewelry has evolved, but the basic concept remains the same. People continue to wear jewelry, such as skull or hourglass motifs, as a reminder to cherish life and make the most of every moment. However, the style and design of the jewelry has become more diverse and less traditional, appealing to a wider range of tastes and lifestyles.

Overall, the wearing of "Memento Mori" jewelry remains a personal choice that varies greatly between individuals, and the purpose of the jewelry has remained relatively unchanged despite the passage of time.
