Handcrafted in Adelaide, South Australia, the Skull & Cross Bone with Pearl Drop Earrings embody the essence of Momento Mori, serving as a reminder of life’s fleeting nature.

Each earring features hand-carved skulls, moulded and cast in sterling silver. The original fox tail was moulded and cast into sterling silver to preserve all the fine details of the bones. These have been used to make the crossbones with small white freshwater pearls or Onyx drops hanging below.

The skull motif, a prominent symbol in Momento Mori jewellery, caotures the timeless message of mortality and the preciousness of each moment.

Due to the nature of freshwater pearls/ genstones each one varies slightly. Picture is an example only.

Dimensions: 5cm length (pearls approx. 1cm)

Each Jewellery piece comes packaged in an Olivia Dryden branded jewellery box or velvet bag.
