Alchemy Wallpaper
In celebration of the release of our debut jewelry line, Alchemy by Sistine, here’s a new wallpaper for the iPhone and iPad. Grab them from our Flickr account here and show everyone just how much you love Sistine.
You’ve seen our Alchemy jewelry line’s photo shoot earlier this week, here’s a complete look at each piece from the collection. The collection is titled Memento Mori, meaning “Remember your mortality”. It’s about life, death, and everything in between. Where there’s a beginning, there’s an end. Life’s full of celebrations as well as tragedies. Perspective and attitude shapes one’s life. Tell yourself that the world was created for you but remember that you are but dust and ashes.
Ring: Ultima Forsan – The inspiration comes from old sundials often decorated with the motto ultima forsan, “perhaps the last hour”.
Necklace: Sephorith – The concept of the Kabbalah Tree of Life is often used to depict a map of Creation. The design seen here was created by Robert Fludd in the 16th century.
Ring: Memento – Skulls have been used since the very beginning of human civilization to represent death. In the 15th century, Memento Mori jewelry were worn to remember the passing of loved ones.
Bracelet: Vanitas – The 3 charms on this bracelet is the perfect embodiment of Sistine’s philosophy. The flower bud represents life, the skull is for death, and the hour glass represents time.
Necklace: Moriendi – Death is something we all fear to some extend. During the middle ages, Ars Moriendi, the art of dying is the concept of protocols and procedures for a good death.
Rings: Dust & Ashes – Everyone should have two pockets, each containing a slip of paper. On one should read: The world was created for me, and on the other: I am but dust and ashes. From time to time we must reach into one pocket or the other. The secret is knowing when to reach into each.
Memento Mori is now available for pre-order from our online shop. For those unfamiliar with our shopping cart interface, just drag the item into the lower right corner “Shopping Cart” to add an item. For a limited time, all jewelries are offered at a 20% discounted price. Shipping begins in August.
