It’s dry here and the leaves are fading and dropping off the trees. Rain is needed in the garden if we are going to have any color this fall. Urns for the upcoming season include our pretty maple leaf urn pendant than can be mounted on either a chain or bracelet as a keepsake.

The Legends of the Fall cremation urn is a work of art, fusing metal and baked enamel to create a vision of strength and beauty for the season.

The Fleur de Lis symbol has appeared on countless coats of arms, flags, architecture, and remains an enduring symbol of France and New Orleans.  The Fleur de Lis literally means “lily flower” and the symbol is a stylized interpretation of a lily.  Urn Garden has modernized the famous French icon into a piece of memorial jewelry.

We’ve always been a little intrigued by the Victorian art form of Memento Mori.  We have a small collection of urn keepsakes that we’ve added to the Urn Garden.

Inspired by the glass lockets that were used to store locks of hair, we’ve continued the tradition of memorial jewelry, with the Heart of Glass Victorian urn locket.

Early examples of mourning  jewelry were found in Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries. Black and white enameled heads or skulls were often set into both rings and brooches and worn to signify a period of mourning after the death of a loved one.

memento mori

The Death’s Head motif (skull) was still used on mourning rings as late as the 17th century. A ring presented after the execution of King Charles I in 1649 shows a portrait of Charles I on one side and a skull and a crown on the other. Inside the inscription reads, “The glory of England has departed.”

The presentation of mourning rings was a status symbol in the 17th and 18th centuries. The wealthy specified the ring design and quantity to be made in their wills.

Samuel Pepys, English diarist and naval official (1633-1703) willed that 129 mourning rings be given away at his funeral.

Either he had a large family or a huge ego.

Urn Garden is pleased to launch a contemporary line of urn rings, inspired by Victorian mourning jewelry.
