Victorian Memento Mori Carved Coral Skull Cufflinks

527N
916 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A very unusual pair of carved coral cufflinks in the shape of skulls. Memento mori is Latin for “remember that you will die”. Rather than being macabre, memento mori jewellery is meant to act as a reminder to cherish each day you’re alive. They are joined together with 15ct gold chains. They were made circa 1860-1900.
