This memento mori skull pendant states the idea outright with a skull, where our other memento mori necklace relies on a sculpted reminder. It is listed in our necklaces in gold or sterling silver.

The skull pendant design

A skull is the oldest memento mori image, a plain reminder that time is short. This pendant suits people who like gothic or Stoic jewelry and want the meaning stated openly.

Metals and finish

The product name lists gold or sterling silver. Choose from the options shown on the page. A gold plated finish wears gradually over months to years of daily use, while sterling silver is solid but can darken over time.

What does a memento mori skull pendant symbolize?

A skull pendant on the memento mori theme reminds the wearer that life is finite and worth spending well. It is a Stoic and gothic motif, not a symbol of any group.

Is the skull pendant gold or sterling silver?

The listing is named for gold or sterling silver. The exact choices are on the product page, so select your metal there before you order, and ask us if you are unsure which suits you.

How is it different from your memento mori necklace?

The skull pendant uses a literal skull. The other memento mori necklace is a separate sculpted design. Compare the two product pages and pick the look you prefer, since both are made to order.

Does sterling silver tarnish?

Sterling silver can darken with time and exposure, which is normal for the metal. Storing the piece dry and wiping it after wear slows this, and polishing brings the shine back.
