    • A cool antique 18K gold signet ring made in Birmingham in 1914 by Deakin & Francis. The face of the ring features an enamelled skull which has been added later. The inside of the ring is engraved with the date '27. Nov. 1915’.

      Here the skull represents ‘memento mori’, a Latin phrase meaning ‘remember death’. A rather stark reminder for the wearer to cherish each day and live life to the fullest because tomorrow is never guaranteed.

      UK size M 1/2, US size 6.5

      The ring weighs 3.89 grams and is fully hallmarked and tested for 18K gold.

      The oval face of the ring measures 1cm north to south.

      Deakin & Francis is a well-known British manufacturer of jeweller that has been active since 1786.
