What is Argentium Silver
Argentium Silver is essentially a modern, upgraded version of sterling silver, which was “invented” in the 1300s by King Edward the first. Although the history behind this alloy is rich and fascinating, in my experience sterling silver leaves something to be desired in terms of appearance and durability. More info on the properties of Argentium Silver here.
Will your rings turn my finger green?
No they won’t. This occurs when rings are made of low quality materials and plated to look like silver. Copper, for example, will produce the green finger effect. Argentium silver is the highest quality silver alloy available, so it won’t have this effect.
Sustainable Metal Sourcing:
I use Argentium silver, a 100% sustainably sourced and recycled metal produced by the Argentium Company, ensuring ethical and environmentally friendly practices.
Certified Suppliers:
Palloys, the only Australian casting company certified by LBMA, OECD, and World Gold Council, supplies metals that comply with strict ethical standards, including the RJC certification for responsible jewelry practices.
Australian Labor and Manufacturing:
I use exclusively Australian labor and manufacturing for all aspects of production, maintaining slavery-free supply chains and supporting the local economy, with the exception of FSC-certified packaging from Denmark.

I offer change of mind returns for store credit. If your piece has any quirks you think shouldn’t be there, let me know and send me a some photos. If it looks like a workmanship problem I’ll issue an immediate full refund or replacement upon return postage.
Bought the wrong size? The course of action depends on whether the ring is too small or too large. If it’s too small, just send it back and I’ll size it up for free. If it’s too large, I’ll have to charge you a $60 resizing fee, since I’ll need to cut the ring open, remove metal, and solder it back together. This is fairly time consuming, hence the fee.

“Fair lady, throw those costly robes aside,
No longer may you glory in your pride.
Take leave of all sour carnal vain delight
I’m come to summon you away this night.”
– Unknown
This design is for the stoic philosophers, those who recognise and respect the transitory nature of this life.
The Death card is a key symbol within the Major Arcana, serving as a reminder of the cyclical nature of life. More than symbolising physical death, it represents the importance of letting go of what is no longer needed.
Part of the Arcana Chapter, this ring brings to life the card’s message with a design featuring the Grim Reaper. This figure, often linked with the end of life and the passage of time, is depicted striding downhill, representing how all things move towards their end. The Reaper’s scythe symbolises cutting away past attachments to make room for new beginnings. The white robe contrasts with the skeletal figure, hinting at purity and a fresh start.
On one side of the ring, a raven’s feather is engraved, a symbol often associated with death and omens. On the opposite side, a wilted flower represents life’s natural cycles and the certainty of ageing.
The piece is inscribed with “Memento Mori,” a phrase urging us to remember our mortality. This concept was long emphasised by ancient thinkers like Democritus and Socrates. Democritus, who sought wisdom in solitude and the contemplation of tombs, and Socrates, whose final moments were spent discussing the soul’s immortality. Both embraced the concept that understanding death is essential to understanding life.
The Death card is not about fear or doom but about embracing change and transformation. It challenges us to think about what in our lives needs changing and what we need to let go of. This ring is a physical reminder of life’s ongoing cycles, encouraging its wearer to live meaningfully and with intention.
Expect your Memento Mori to arrive within 1-2 weeks after placing your order, crafted in superior quality 940 Argentium Silver.
