Memento Mori, from the Latin ‘Remember you will die’, is less a doom-laden prophecy, but instead an inducement to live every day to the full, as if it might be your last.

The NUDE Memento Mori collection by Ali Bakova brings the timeless mantra to life as a series of skull-shaped ornaments. Crafted from faceted lead-free crystal in a luminous green hue, the piece’s simple, clean shape lets its fine material take centre stage. A beautiful decorative item for both the home and the office — this one is sized small.
