The Memento Mori Coin

Designed from an old Indian Chief liberty coin. With the Latin inscription "Memento Mori", which is an artistic or symbolic reminder of the inevitability of death. Memento mori jewellery with skull or coffin motifs became popular in the late 16th century.  Interpretations of the expression differ throughout the ages. We find that to be the most significant element to this motif - that the interpretation, is upon the wearer. 

The difference between the Gold and Brass will be the slow oxidisation/ageing of the Brass coin.

What is 925 Sterling Silver?

"925" represents 92.5% pure silver. As pure silver is too soft to wear on its own, it is alloyed with the 7.5% of base metals to make the piece more durable. This creates the alloy we know and love named, 925 Sterling Silver.

What does it mean, 'individually made to order'?

A very important element of the creation of our pieces, is the focus on the individual ring and it's purpose of being produced soley for you.

We are hoping that heirloom status is one day achieved with your piece of jewellery, or at the very least, it holds some significant value to you. 

We feel this is only properly recognised if the ring is made specifically for you, once you commission it through a sale - not sitting on the shelf waiting for ownership. 

So every piece is individually made to order out of the Crooked Howlet Designs studio, right here in Sydney, Australia.
