Cadeaux Ginkgo AG Switzerland
CADEAUX JEWELRY Editions – rare, symbolic, unmistakable, unique . Made of precious gold and natural gemstones – for lovers of the Real Thing.
The skull throughout history has been both a symbol of human transience and yet also a continual reminder of the treasure and gift of life. ET IN ARCADIA EGO is a classic Latin phrase – “And in Paradise I (am)” – best transcribed perhaps as “I too enjoyed the pleasures of life”. Idealized by painter Nicolas Poussin in the 17th century, this memento mori was broadened to suggest that through art we might become immortal. In more recent times the skull has reemerged as an ironic encouragement to live life to its fullest.
