The Persistence of Memory
Handcrafted in sterling silver with a gold-plated frame, this pendant was first sculpted in wax and then cast in silver. It comes with a 925 silver chain.
Inspired by Salvador Dalí’s 1931 painting The Persistence of Memory, this piece reflects on the fluid nature of time. How it bends, distorts, and drifts beyond the boundaries of memory. It is a reminder that time is not fixed, but something shaped by perception and imagination.
“Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.”
— Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper
Only one Persistence of Memory pendant exists. A singular piece that merges art and craft, translating surrealism into wearable form.
Care
Wear and handle with care to preserve the integrity of this handmade piece. Avoid contact with salt water, chlorinated water, and harsh chemicals or perfumes. Silver naturally develops tarnish over time; it can be gently cleaned with the cloth provided to restore its shine. When not in use, store it in its box and pouch.
