Georgian Memento Mori Ring of 18k Gold

About the Item

This Georgian era, 18k gold ring (circa 1748) serves as a poignant reminder of a life cut short. The ring features a hand painted skull under a faceted rock crystal with a white enamel band adorned with old English text that reads 'Thos. Griffeth 25 Oct 1748 at 23'. The ring is a size 6.5 and cannot be resized. It is in good condition with light surface wear; however, the skull is not well defined and only noticeable under magnification. The metal content of this ring was verified with XRF (x-ray analysis) and jeweler's acids. Materials: 18k gold, Enamel, rock crystal.

Memento Mori Style Ring White Enamel Light
By J DAUPHIN
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Memento Mori Style Ring White Enamel Light This 14k Gold Plated Ring in White Enamel has the letters LIGHT Designer: J Dauphin The Concept of Light – A Universal Symbol Across time and cultures, light has symbolized life, clarity, truth, and transformation. From the sun that sustains us to the flame that illuminates the path, light is the force that guides, heals, and reveals. It represents hope, purity, and the power of creation.

Flowing from Ein Sof (the Infinite), this spiritual light animates all existence. It fills the soul, awakens the heart, and brings divine protection and clarity.
