A small reminder of the one thing none of us escape.

Each of the four sides carries a symbol of mortality: a skull, an hourglass, a lily, and the words Memento Mori — remember that you must die.

Machined by hand from solid brass, each bead is individually laser engraved, darkened, and hand finished to bring out the depth and detail of the artwork.

Designed to hang from a knife, pack, keychain, or wherever you choose to carry it, the Memento Mori bead is less decoration than reminder:

Time passes. Life is brief. Use it well.

Manually machined solid Brass lanyard bead.

.625" square with 1/4" hole.
