Tempus Fugit Lapel Pin
A one-of-a-kind 9-karat gold, enamel, and carved pearl lapel pin that speaks the language of time: a skull engraved on a pearl surrounded by hand-enameled Roman numerals and embellished with old rose-cut diamonds. A contemporary, refined memento mori that invites not melancholy but awareness: every moment is precious, every hour is a gift. Its name reminds us that time flies and never returns. Its meaning, however, is a statement of style and personal philosophy: “I count only the serene hours.” A jewel that measures not the passing of time, but its worth. The cross painted on the skull’s forehead, on the other hand, historically symbolizes the Christian memento mori, the victory of eternal life over death. On the back, almost like a personal secret, an enameled flower blooms, a symbol of rebirth, beauty, and continuity. An intentional contrast: the fragility of life on one side, its wonder on the other. Closure: a secure screw-down butterfly pin.
Dear customer, this jewel may not be available immediately, but it is reproducible and customizable
