The Otherworld Pendant is a statement piece, bold in both scale and weight. This oversized skull is cast in your choice of Bronze or White Bronze and clutches a glass vial of raw honey in its teeth.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, Memento Mori jewelry was worn as daily adornment by the more learned and affluent of the day. This jewelry was not a symbol of mourning but instead showed the wearer to be a deep thinker, openly acknowledging the fact that death comes to all. It’s presence encouraged one to live life to the fullest as it reminded the wearer that they too, must eventually die. Ancient Egyptian and Middle Eastern cultures used honey to embalm the dead. It was also packed for the journey of the deceased into the afterlife.
