Diamond Memento Mori Silver Skull and Crossbone Stick Pin

Diamond Memento Mori Silver Skull and Crossbone Stick Pin


A fantastic silver stick pin featuring a skull and crossbones with sparkling brilliant-cut diamond accents representing eye sockets. All mounted on a 9ct yellow gold barley twist pin and beautifully presented in a blue-purple antique velvet box.


The skull has been treated with a copper coloured oxidization giving a faint reddish effect.

It is in a very good pre-loved condition.


This fantastic vintage pin draws inspiration from Victorian memento mori jewellery. Which is a translation of “Remember you will die”. The pieces were commonly decorated with skulls, crossbones, and coffins but the morbid themes were not a celebration of death, rather a reminder to live your life well and cherish each waking day.
