Antique Victorian Cufflinks Set Memento Mori Skulls Bones 14k Gold Diamond

I am please to offer from my private collection this MUSEUM antique 19th Century Victorian SOLID 14k Gold Memento Mori Skulls&Bones Cufflinks set in excellent condition.Genuine old rose cut diamonds in the skull eyes.
9g heavy.

This set is a link to the tradition of the memento mori - an object designed to remind us that life is brief and that we should seize the moment while we are here.

Since the beginning of time,the skull is been used as a symbol of mortality, victory, the ultimate Memento Mori.

The skull represented the contemplation of eternity.

In Elizabethan England, it was an emblem of bawds, rakes and sexual adventure. It’s a symbol men, in particular, have always loved to paint, carve, cast, and wear.

 

A must for every serious collector or museum.
