Memento Mori Pendant, about .75”~ Currently only shipping to the USA. ~This pendant depicts a flightless, falling bird. The image is meant to provoke a strong response of pity, emp athy, loss of joy, and heaviness of spirit amid the strife and pain of 2020. Pendant Only *No Chain*⁣ ⁣ About .75” Sterling silver, vitreous enamel Hand painted, torch fired, hand fabricated Memento mori (“remember death”) jewelry of the 1800s was designed to remind us to "live righteously" – or in today's thinking, “be present in the moment.” This collection of memento mori pieces reflects the historical significance and gravity of our times. I aim to bring a sense of empathy and context to the work through images and symbols that evoke both pity and dread, that are reminiscent of the hardships and perspectives of generations before and centuries past.⁣⁣ Show more
