Antique Victorian Ornate Ring Skull Bones Memento Mori Gilt Silver Enamel

I am pleased to offer from my private collection this Antique Victorian Men’s Memento Mori Skull Ring – Vermeil Gilt Silver, Enamel & Coral-Colored Mother of Pearls – Size 9  A Unique Fusion of Elegance and Mortality – Rare 19th-Century Masterpiece  This bold and highly ornamental Victorian memento mori ring was designed to captivate. Crafted in vermeil over solid silver with dramatic Gothic flourishes, the ring showcases a radiant skull-and-crossbones emblem at the center, set against a sunburst background and framed by a vibrant halo of coral-colored mother-of-pearl cabochons. With its richly sculpted shoulders and gold enamel accents, this ring is both a statement of style and a contemplation of mortality.  Key Details: • Era: Victorian, late 19th century • Material: Vermeil (gilt silver), black enamel, and coral-toned mother-of-pearl cabochons • Ring Size: US 9 (Men’s) • Design: • Central skull-and-crossbones in radiant starburst setting • Encircled by coral-colored mother-of-pearl beads • Ornate foliate sidework with curled goldwork shoulders • Textured skeletal ring shank adds to Gothic symbolism • Condition: Excellent antique condition with only light wear.
