10k Yellow + White Gold Skull Signet Ring. Memento Mori. 7g + 2/3" Wide

The skull itself is wonderfully dimensional, with sunken eyes, nose, and cheeks contrasted by a softly domed forehead. It feels almost carved rather than cast, giving the ring a strong presence and a slightly haunting realism. Surrounding the black stone, raised gold scrolling adds elegance and movement, softening the severity of the imagery while framing it beautifully.

Along both edges of the ring runs a repeating triangle motif in gold, lending rhythmic detail, while the shoulders rise into bold gold columns before tapering comfortably toward the back. At some point in its life, the band was replaced with a 10k yellow gold shank—an honest repair that speaks to the ring having been worn, valued, and kept alive across generations.

There is minor wear along the edges of the black stone, consistent with age and use, and entirely in keeping with the spirit of a true memento mori piece. Powerful, symbolic, and undeniably striking, this ring is for someone drawn to jewelry with depth, history, and meaning.
