These solid sterling silver SkullBones Coin Lapel Pin can also be worn as a Tie Tack. This Skullbones Coin is wax carved by hand and cast using the ancient process of Lost Wax to cast them in sterling silver. I then made a mold, which I can inject with wax and make wax copies of the Skull and crossbones and cast a lot of them. Once I have them cast. I clean up the sprue site and casting and then texture and oxidize the surface. I clean it again and give it a Wax finish to preserve the dark patina.

These Skullbone Coin Lapel Pins are part of my Memento Mori Collection.

Death, Decay, Corruption, and constant reminders of our own mortality wait around every corner. What can we do but recognize and even celebrate these as reminders to live our lives more fully? The Stoic Philosophers of antiquity wrote that one can only live one’s life fully in the present moment by meditating on death’s inevitability. This is the thought process celebrated by Memento Mori art.

So here is your reminder to live life to the very fullest, and they look super freakin cute to boot!
