Style Charm Only Keyring 30" Black Plated Steel Cable Chain 30" Leather Cord

A coffin-shaped .999 fine silver charm pairs Memento Mori with Memento Vivere: remember mortality, and remember to live. Its wax-sealed patina brings out the design, and a stainless steel jump ring provides the attachment point.

Design and Background

Between the understanding of one’s own mortality and the recognition of life on Earth as a beautiful opportunity, there is a captivating and beautiful dichotomy in holding the concepts of Life and Death together.

The macabre Latin Christian phrase of antiquity, “Memento mori”, acts as a succinct mantra in today’s modern world. “Remember that you have to die”, it states, prompting appreciation of life’s fleeting condition.

Memento vivere (Latin: “Remember you have to live.”) supports the notion that life is to be celebrated. Have fun while you are here, and remember that life can start today.

Coin design by Michael Shantz, engraved by Woody Maringer. .
