Memento Mori, Memento Vivere: A Custom Ring for the Season of Reflection
As a jewelry artisan, I often find that custom orders tell a story as unique as the person who commissions them. Recently, I had the honor of crafting a sterling silver double finger ring engraved with the powerful phrases "Memento Mori" and "Memento Vivere." These words, which translate to "Remember Death" and "Remember to Live," serve as a profound reminder of life's balance between mortality and vitality. Let me take you behind the scenes of this one-of-a-kind piece.
The Meaning of the Engraving:
"Memento Mori" has long been a phrase used to remind us that life is fleeting. It encourages us to live fully and intentionally, knowing that our time is limited. "Memento Vivere" complements this by reminding us to embrace life, seize the moment, and find joy in the present. This pairing resonates deeply with many, making it a meaningful choice for a custom jewelry design.
As we approach the season where we honor those who have passed and reflect on the cycles of life, this custom engraving feels particularly relevant. The ring becomes more than just an accessory; it’s a wearable reminder to stay present, honor life, and acknowledge the inevitable.
Crafting the Double Finger Ring:
The double finger ring itself is a bold and modern piece, created from sterling silver. It was hand-stamped with great care, ensuring the engraving was perfectly aligned and clear. I love the way this ring wraps around two fingers, creating both a visual and physical statement.

If this ring speaks to you, or if you have your own message you'd like to wear, I'd love to work with you on a custom design. You can find this double finger ring and many other customizable pieces in my shop. Together, we can create something truly special that reflects your personal journey.
Jewelry has the power to carry meaning and tell a story. Whether it's a reminder to live fully or a celebration of life’s precious moments, custom pieces like this are a tangible way to hold those messages close. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your story, and I look forward to crafting many more.
