$399.00
Scull - This finely carved salmon coral skull is tiny but packed with great detail. Topped with a 7k gold bale and jump ring. It is a fantastic example of a Georgian/Victorian Memento Mori skull of excellent workmanship. Memento Mori is a latin phrase that translates to 'Remember You Must Die'. The most common motif of Memento Mori jewelry during the late 16th through the 17th centuries was the skull. This symbolic trope acted as a reminder of the inevitability of death which when flipped was the perfect reminder to cherish each day of life.Piggie - Tiny carved coral pig charm dating from the early Victorian period, circa 1840. It's so small and so perfectly formed - the mind boggles trying to imagine carving it... even the little split trotters are detailed. With 7k gold fittings.
