Top of ring features skull over a book one of the crucial emblematic symbol of the “memento mori”.Around the symbol is the sign “memento mori” which means that “keep in mind that you need to die”. An object, such as a skull, intended to remind people of the inevitability of death. The sides of the ring are also very emblematic there are an hourglass with wings up and a skull on both sides. These symbols go along with life, death, permanence, the past, the future, and the temporary. For those conscious of the world’s fragility, the hourglass represents life. It was once the only symbol that could depict both the past and the present at the same time, so it came to represent both life and death. Its sands would drift irrespective of the elements around it-just as a person’s life winds down at a steady pace, irrespective of their good or bad deeds-so it was once also used to instill a fear of death into people.
