Memento Mori

Respice post te! Hominem te esse memento! Memento mori

Inspired by one of jewelry’s oldest and most revered styles, this new Memento Mori Scrimshaw collection combines naturalistic elegance with gothic glamour and eerie sentiment.

Memento mori jewelry stems back to the sixteenth century; these sentimental adornments were reflections on mortality and the “vanity of earthly life.”

A modern take on the traditional beauty of hand-etched adornments, HBJ’s new Memento Mori pieces are symbols of life’s mystery, talismans of vitality, and a reminder to live every day to the fullest.
