Description: A stark memento mori ring with a skull, a scythe, a winged hourglass atop the tomb and a weeping willow tree. One unique feature about this ring is that the crystal magnifies! This makes the hair work scene easier to see than on a typical memento/mourning ring. Superb hair work on ivory set in high karat rose gold setting. Please note the nice workmanship on the shank of the ring. (Unknown hallmarks on the back of the ring shank).
