What's in this collection
Skulls (38 designs), gothic and occult (15), reaper and memento mori (7), demons and oni (3) and carved faces and masks (3). Several carry the Latin inscription Memento Mori.
Materials & craft
Every ring in this collection is hand-carved and cast in 925 sterling silver, then finished by hand as oxidized, polished, or gold vermeil. Most designs are also available in 10K and 14K solid gold. Each piece is made to order in our own workshop in Türkiye, so no two come out identical.
Ring sizes run US 4 to 15, including half sizes. Every order ships worldwide in gift-ready packaging with a polishing cloth.
Frequently asked questions
What does memento mori mean?
Memento mori is Latin for "remember you must die" — a reminder to live deliberately. It has been engraved on rings since the Renaissance, and several designs in this collection carry the inscription alongside the skull.
What metal are these rings made from?
Each ring is cast in 925 sterling silver and hand-finished as oxidized, polished or gold vermeil. Solid 10K and 14K gold are available on most designs.
What ring sizes do you offer?
US 4 through 15, including half sizes. Every ring is made to order in the size you choose, so there is no resizing needed.
Are these rings handmade?
Yes. Every piece is hand-carved, cast and hand-finished by our own silversmiths in Türkiye, then made to order.

Questions?
We’ve got you covered
IS IT REAL STERLING SILVER?
Yes. Every THESWAF piece is made from solid 925 sterling silver. Our gold pieces feature a thick layer of genuine gold vermeil over the same 925 sterling silver base — not plated base metal.
WILL THE JEWELRY TARNISH OVER TIME?
925 sterling silver can develop a natural patina over time, particularly with regular wear. This can be restored with a soft silver polishing cloth. Many of our oxidized pieces are intentionally finished to have a darker, aged appearance — this is part of the design, not a flaw.
HOW LONG DOES SHIPPING TAKE?
We offer free worldwide delivery on all orders. Once placed, orders are processed within 1-3 days and dispatched within 24 hours of processing. Delivery times after dispatch are as follows: USA and Canada 1-4 business days, Europe and UK 1-3 business days, and all other countries 1-5 business days. You'll receive a tracking link as soon as your order ships.
WHAT IF THE SIZE DOES NOT FIT?
Contact us at support@theswaf.com and we'll send a ring sizing kit to your address. If you need to exchange for a different size, we'll guide you through the return process. Please note that return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility.
CAN THIS BE PURCHASED AS A GIFT?
Yes — every order ships in a premium gift box, so no extra wrapping is needed. We also offer free custom engraving on selected pieces, which makes for a genuinely personal gift. Just add your message at checkout.
