BACKGROUND:
“Memento Mori” is a Latin phrase meaning, “Remember you must die” or “Remember your death.” A message that should remind everyone that our time on earth is only temporary. Memento Mori objects have been around for ages and have mainly been used to symbolize our morality. The most widely used symbol is the skull for obvious reasons. It is said, Latin Christian theory focused on reflections of death not as a morbid practice but as an inspiration to truly live. As such skull rosaries have been documented to have existed as far back as the Middle Ages. With such a rich history and meaning behind Memento Mori we decided to make our own Rosary interpretation.
All of our Memento Mori Rosaries are made one by one. Each MM Rosary begins with our standard Crusader Ex Machina decade Rosary. Special attention is given to each Rosary’s overall finish before proceeding to the skull application. Hand designed micro skulls are cast in-house using the lost-wax investment process. A method commonly used to create fine jewelry. Seven micro skulls are silver soldered onto every other bead to give tactile and visual feedback when praying the Rosary. This is a painstakingly slow process as each skull has to be soldered one by one. Once all the micro skulls have been applied the Rosary is cleaned up and prepared for various finishing stages to achieve its luxurious finish.
