As I leave this earth and sail into the infinite cosmo of the universe, the wars, the triumphs, the beauty, and the bloodshed, the ocean of human endeavor, it all grows quiet, insignificant. I'm nothing more than recycled stardust and borrowed energy, born from a rock, spinning in the ether. I watch my life backwards and forwards and I feel free. Nothing is real, love is everything, and I know nothing.

MH17


My deepest condolences go out to the victims of Flight MH17. I am quite devastated at the plane that was shot down in the Ukraine. Mainly because it didn't have to happen and more people almost 300 people at once now are gone, they have faded away. People who had their whole life ahead of them, happily going to their destinations. Some were AIDS researchers going to their conferences and others going on vacation with their families. This is the second air disaster for Malaysia Airlines in only a couple months, I know how overwhelmed they must be, surely this couldn't happen twice, right? Not in such a short time. There is so much death in the world, Even though I sell lots of Memento Mori jewelry, it doesn't make it easier to deal with. I suppose I make Memento Mori jewelry as an attempt to deal with death. As you get older you realize that end is near and you never know when, like those people on the plane who never saw this coming. I think the constant unknowing around death is terrifying. You don't know when, you don't know how, you don't know what will happen afterwards, you just know that you have no choice. Its the only thing that all humans, animals, and things share. The reason tragic news stories like these captures our minds and our hearts is because of this main fact: It will happen to you,too.

My jewelry store is often influenced by the connection of love and death because it's only love and death that changes all things.

COLLECTION: Memento Mori

MEMENTO MORI BEADED BRACELET - DARK

Price
The name Memento Mori received its name from a poem by J. Furniss  Through the 17th century Memento Mori art became a very popular genre. Although skulls are seen as grim in current western culture, in other cultures skulls represent a sort of wisdom. Memento Mori simply reminds you to remember your mortality; to remember the years you have left, because life at best is short. A more positive way to look at it is remembering there must be an end to the book. The Memento Mori  Collection will help you actually put thought into writing the story your life will tell before it does.
