Memento Mori Copper Necklace - Memento Vivere Reminder Jewelry

$27.00

Keep your memento mori with you

There is a long history of Memento Mori reminders, including coins. We have added our own spin on the concept and included a new reverse side, “Memento Vivere” which translates to “remember that you have to live.” We believe there is a beautiful balance between accepting mortality and embracing life.

Memento mori (Latin: "Remember that you have to die.") is the medieval Latin Christian theory and practice of reflection on mortality. Especially as a means of considering the vanity of earthly life and the transient nature of all earthly goods and pursuits.

Memento vivere (Latin: "Remember you have to live.") Know that your time is short in the grand scheme of things. So have fun while you are here.

  • Copper pendant is about 1/2 ounce, or 15 grams of bullion grade pure copper. 
  • 30" gunmetal neckchain

Coin design by Michael Shantz, engraved by Woody Maringer. Learn more about our artists.

Great necklace

I replaced the chain with an amber necklace my wife made for me. It looks very nice with the misshaped beads and the detail of the pendant. I really enjoy it and have gotten a few remarks on it these last few days.

Beautiful Necklace - Awesome Jewelry Design and Packaging!!!

Looks just like the picture! An excellent saying couplet suitable for christian, stoic, and buddhist practitioners, or someone who just enjoys the skull coin design! The copper finish is great choice, and the chain it comes with is nice.

The most surprising thing for me (as a new customer) was how cool the packaging was! A print design stamped with a stamp like the necklace. I saved the packaging of the jewelry because it was that awesome :). I will keep this shop on my watchlist for future purchases. Thank you so much!!!

Shire Post Mint coins are struck one at a time in West Fork, Arkansas, USA using solid metals, hand-engraved designs, antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. For antiqued coins, the coloring/patina process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science so coins will vary slightly. Our unique packaging includes a description of each coin and translations if applicable.

We collaborate with many artists to create our coins. Learn more about our artists.
