Memento Vitae
A ring that enshrines a paradox as old as humanity itself. Carnelian, a stone that for millennia has celebrated the vitality of the earth and the warmth of blood, is engraved with a skull in profile facing right: a symbol that does not threaten, but reminds. It is a powerful oxymoron: the stone that symbolizes life houses the emblem of the end.
Carnelian speaks of permanence, of roots, of what remains; the skull speaks of the fleeting nature of existence, the fragility of the flesh, the passing of time.
Together, they form a symbol that celebrates not death, but memory. Whoever wore, and whoever wears, such a ring today intended to affirm a simple and profound truth: matter fades, but the spirit endures; life is short, but memory is tenacious. Engraved in the 1970s and mounted in our workshop in 24kt gold-plated 925 silver, this stone is a fragment of Venetian goldsmith history: a personal talisman, a gentle reminder, a silent companion ring that invites you to live intensely what is destined to pass. Stone dimensions: 18 x 13 mm –
