Silver Victorian Skull Necklace
$595.00
A skull is hand carved and cast in sterling silver with a peachy marquise golden topaz flush set in the forehead like a third eye. A freshwater pearl drop hangs wire wrapped from the teeth. On a substantial round rollo chain with a seeped hook clasp. An extender chain makes it adjustable. A tag hangs on the end, signed with a handmade custom crescent moon stamp. Oxidized in some places for a dark patina and rubbed back some for highlighting detail. Completely one of a kind. Created by Miche McClendon, in her Laguna Beach studio/gallery.
This pendant is a memento mori, or a reminder of our own mortality. A talisman to tell us to live each day as if it were our last. It also brings the wearer closer to nature and natural design that connects all creatures. We are all connected, great and small.
Topaz is the crystal of self-respect and self-love. It helps one see their uniqueness and value. While it brings self realization, this also goes hand in hand with generosity, abundance and therefore joy.
Pearls are organic gems created by shellfish. They are special because they start off as an irritant inside the shell, which the creature coats until is is transformed into a treasure. Pearls are said to lend depth of feeling. They help one resolve conflict and ease loss and grief.
Each piece comes ready to gift in a natural pine wood box with jute ribbon, wax seal and tag. Free insured priority shipping on all orders.
