About the Item

**Ruby Skull Memento Mori Crest Signet Ring — “Secret Doors” Victorian Revival by J Dauphin** Designer: J Dauphin Category: Rings · Victorian Revival · Memento Mori · Symbolic Jewelry Material: 14k gold-plated brass Made to Order: 3–4 weeks Description The Ruby Skull Crest Signet Ring from J Dauphin’s Secret Doors collection is a sculptural interpretation of the Victorian signet ring, reimagined through the lens of Memento Mori jewelry. Crafted in 14k gold-plated brass, the ring features a carved skull framed within a traditional heraldic crest, its eyes set with natural rubies that lend the piece its vivid, contemplative presence. This Victorian-style Memento Mori ring draws on the long European lineage of crest signets worn as declarations of identity, lineage, and inner values. J Dauphin transforms that historic format into a contemporary talisman, using the skull not as a macabre emblem but as a reminder of impermanence, truth, and the clarity that arises from contemplating the transient nature of life. Memento Mori Symbolism Rooted in the Latin phrase “remember that you must die,” the Memento Mori tradition encouraged humility, discipline, and a return to spiritual purpose. Rather than evoking fear, these objects functioned as companions on the inner path — reminders to pursue what is eternal rather than what fades. In this ring, the skull becomes a guide rather than a warning: a symbol of inner renewal, spiritual direction, and the perseverance of the soul beyond the physical world. Ruby Symbolism Rubies have long been associated with: • vitality • devotion • inner fire • the enduring spark of life Placed within the skull’s gaze, they form a union of mortality and life force — a structure where contemplation and vitality meet, embodying transformation, continuity, and the will to move through life with intention. Design Craftsmanship The Secret Doors ring is defined by its bold architectural structure and finely carved detail. • Material: 14k gold-plated brass • Gemstones: Natural rubies (eyes) • Style: Crest signet ring with carved skull and ruby eyes • Format: Unisex signet ring • Finish: Warm gold-plated surface with sculptural texture A video example shows the piece in gold-plated brass with ruby eyes, illustrating the depth and dimensionality of the design. Production Made to order · 3–4 weeks As each piece is individually handcrafted, small variations in finish contribute to the character and uniqueness of the ring.
