The Signet Skull Ring is a signet in 925 sterling silver, the flat-faced ring form once used to press a seal into wax, carrying a skull where a family crest or monogram would normally sit. The skull is cut into the face of the ring itself rather than applied as a separate ornament.That substitution is the idea of the piece: a signet exists to declare who its wearer is, and here the declaration is a memento mori. The skull stands for mortality and for meeting it without flinching, worn as a symbol rather than as a religious piece.
