Memento mori jewellery holds a profound and timeless meaning in the realm of adornment. The term "memento mori" is Latin for "remember that you must die," serving as a poignant reminder of mortality and the impermanence of life. This type of memorial jewelry has a rich and fascinating history dating back to ancient Rome, but it reached its zenith during the Renaissance and Victorian eras. Memento mori jewellery pieces often feature symbols and motifs like skulls, skeletons, hourglasses, and crossed bones, all designed to evoke contemplation on the transience of human existence.
In the Victorian era, it experienced a resurgence in popularity, with jewellery serving as a tangible connection to lost loved ones. The Luxe Design Memento Mori jewellery collection continues to carry a profound message reminding us to live life with intention, appreciation, and a keen awareness of the fleeting nature of life.
