Victorian Memento Mori Diamond Ring
Victorian Memento Mori Diamond Ring – circa 1890. A sentimental treasure featuring a generous old Rose cut solitaire Diamond (approx. 0.30ct), gemset in a Celestial Starburst pattern. Deeply chased and filled with black enamel, showcasing the Feminine Gold ribbon & foliate work on each shoulder of the ring. Memento Mori refers to the literal & artistic trope that Life is brief, and one must die! At 1077Atelier, we are secretly obsessed with Memento Mori Jewellery and all things Celestial! Highly collectable and undeniably alluring!
