The Eternal Masquerade
To be or Not to Be Skull Necklace, Mixed Metals
To be or Not to be Necklace is made in 14k yellow gold, sterling silver, and rubies, this pendant reflects on the timeless question: What is the value of life when death awaits us all? Inspired by Shakespeare’s Hamlet, it captures the moment of contemplation as Hamlet holds Yorick’s skull in 14k yellow gold, pondering mortality. The hand cradling the skull symbolizes life’s fragile balance, while the skull itself represents the inevitability of death. Even a prince, adorned with wealth and status, is not spared from existential reflection—the rings he wears a subtle reminder that material trappings fade before profound questions of fate, purpose, and the fleeting nature of life. This one of a Kind pendant was made for Muerte Y Vida (Death& Life) showing in Teko Gallery, Albuquerque.
