Handcrafted in Adelaide, South Australia, the Skull & Cross Bone Pearl Drop Earrings are inspired by the symbolism of Memento Mori, reminding us of life’s precious and fleeting nature. Each earring features a hand-carved skull, moulded and cast in sterling silver. The crossbones are created from an original fox tail bone, carefully moulded and cast to preserve its natural detail. A white freshwater pearl or an Onyx drop hangs beneath, adding contrast and movement.
The skull motif, a classic element in Memento Mori jewellery, anchors this design in themes of mortality, reflection, and the beauty of impermanence.
Due to the nature of freshwater pearls/ gemstones each one varies slightly. Picture is an example only.
Dimensions: 5cm length (pearls approx. 1cm)
Each Jewellery piece comes packaged in an Olivia Dryden branded jewellery box or velvet bag.
