Most rings are decoration. These five each carry an idea from ancient Rome, and you see it every time you look at your hand.
Here are the five, and what each one means.
1. Memento Mori: remember you will die
Latin for “remember you will die,” it's a daily reminder to live with purpose and make each day count. The inscription runs all the way around the band.
2. Marcus Aurelius: the Stoic emperor
One of Rome's greatest emperors and a hero of Stoicism, he taught patience, humility and self-reflection. The design comes from a Roman coin from 170 AD.
3. Veni Vidi Vici: I came, I saw, I conquered
Julius Caesar's famous words, inscribed on a clean band. A reminder to meet each challenge with courage.
4. The Emperor Ring: the laurel wreath
Rome crowned its victors and emperors with laurel. This ring wraps the wreath around your finger as a symbol of leadership.
5. The Dead Emperor: even the mightiest fall
A skull wearing an emperor's laurel wreath. It's memento mori at its boldest: a reminder to live with purpose and leave a legacy.

Questions
How do I find my ring size?
Check a ring that fits well against the size chart on any ring page. Our bands are wide, and wide bands fit snug, so if you're between sizes, go one size up. Exchanges are open until December 31.
Will it fade or turn my finger green?
Our pieces are made to resist both. They're surgical and military grade 316L stainless steel under genuine 18K gold plating (rhodium on silver and black pieces), made to resist tarnish, water and sweat, and backed by our No Green Skin Guarantee®.
Can I return or exchange it?
Returns and exchanges are open until December 31, 2026 for orders placed November 10 or later (or 14 days from delivery, whichever is later). Items marked final sale can't be returned or exchanged.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. Every Marcozo piece comes with our lifetime warranty.
Where does it ship from?
Orders ship from our U.S. warehouse. U.S. shipping is free on orders over $99, and express shipping is free over $200.
