Product Insights
Serge DeNimes' Engraved Flower Pendant Necklace subverts the memento mori tradition with the Latin phrase 'Memento vivere' (Remember to live), coined in 1849. Designed by fine artist Oliver Proudlock, the hallmarked 925 silver pendant at $195 CAD offers a literary-romantic alternative to minimalist men's jewelry. The 20-inch chain suits slim to athletic builds; the snap hook opens faster than a lobster clasp. Raised surfaces polish with wear, making the inscription more legible over time, while daily wear slows tarnish and scratches can be buffed out. Generally nickel-free, it may contain trace amounts, not suitable for severe nickel allergies. Includes storage pouch and cleaning cloth; avoid water, perfumes, and harsh chemicals.
