MEMENTO VIVERE - REMEMBER TO LIVE


Hi guys, I received this ring as a gift from a good friend of mine from Finland. Memento vivere means "remember to live" and is a beautiful statement. I really like it. The sculptor Emil Cedercreutz (1879-1949) has nailed these latin words on the front door of his home in Harjavalta to remind us of the value of life. Based on the story Maarit Naaka designed the ring as a tribute to life. Well done!

Hallihallo, diesen Doppel-Ring habe ich von einer guten Freudin aus Finnland geschenkt bekommen. Memento vivere bedeutet "Gedenke zu leben", was - wie ich finde - ein sehr schönes Statement ist. Der Bildhauer Emil Cedercreutz (1879-1949) hing damals diesen lateinischen Spruch über die Eingangstür seines Zuhauses in Harjavalta, um die Menschen an den Sinn und Wert des Lebens zu errinnern. Darauf basiered hat Maarit Naaka diesen Ring als Tribut für das Leben kreiert. Gut gemacht!
