Broken Britain. skull coin -Memento Mori handmade and recycled out of circulation old £1 coin

The crowned skull symbolizes various concepts, from the inversion of worldly power and the dissolution of the ego to the transmutation of negative qualities and the ultimate truth of death. It can represent the acceptance of mortality as a pathway to wisdom, the powerful control over death, or a celebration of life, as in “carpe diem” traditions.

The crowned skull can represent the stripping away of the ego and the illusion of worldly control, revealing raw insight, honesty, and the true self beyond superficial identity.

The Broken Britain design can also convey that knowledge and wisdom are the true legacy that outlives the individual, and that this wisdom is meant to be shared.The “Skull King,” for example, can represent a figure who stands against established authority and challenges formidable circumstances, embodying a dark form of majesty

A visual master piece, a unique handcrafted pendant made from an old Fifty pence coin. Each pendant is meticulously hand cut, carved and engraved using traditional engraving chisels and saws. This process is pain staking and very time consuming.

Each one completely original and unique.

This is the 2nd pair of earrings ordered from HG. They are truly gorgeous! The cats sat in the half moon with star are very beautiful, very shiny and larger than I expected. The ordering process is easy, the wait isn't too long and the product arrives wonderfully wrapped with content specific paper. Made me very happy - the glitter was contained! I will be saving up for a 3rd pair...

This is the second piece I've had made for my partner and absolutely love it. This one was special as it was for her 60th and Les was super helpful when we caught up with him at the Cambridge art and craft market.
The craftsmanship put into his pieces is fantastic and this lovely sixpence ring is beautiful. Thank you.
