The Spiritual Journey of Jewelry; From Memento Mori to the Present Day
Throughout human history, jewelry has been more than just an ornament; it has been a reminder, a message, a symbol. One of its deepest meanings lies in the philosophy of Memento Mori : "Remember Death."
What is Memento Mori ?
This Latin-derived concept emphasizes the transience of life and the importance of remembering death. Memento Mori , which first emerged in Ancient Rome, frequently appears in art and jewelry during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Skull figures, hourglasses, skull rings, and seals were crafted with this understanding.
These jewels are not a symbol of mourning death; they are a symbol of approaching death with wisdom, living in the moment and appreciating life.
Spirituality in Modern Jewelry
This spirituality is revitalized in today's jewelry designs. The energies of natural stones, the meanings of symbols, and personalized creations make jewelry not just an accessory but a part of one's identity.
An amethyst is not just a purple stone; it can symbolize peace and mental clarity. Or a bird figure is not just aesthetic; it is an expression of freedom.
Memento Mori in Mokoartdesign Collections
We reflect this depth in our designs. In our "Memento Mori" collection, in particular, we combine marble and brass to present life and death, strength and fragility in the same form. Each piece possesses its own spirit through the symbols it bears, the natural materials used, and the craftsmanship.
Our aim with this collection is to remind the wearer of life, a ring or necklace you wear every day silently telling you to stay in the moment .
