FIND YOUR DAILY REMINDER
Proudly made in the USA, this stamped coin features the Latin phrase ESSE QUAM VIDERI, which means “To be, rather than to seem.”

This phrase is a call to live out life as your true self, rather than create a mask to hide behind, and to define your character by shaping and showing your fundamental nature. If you feel that your natural state of being is not up to your own standards, this phrase can serve as encouragement to grow into the person that you want to be. Some loose English translations of the motto could be "walk the walk," "practice what you preach," or even simply "embody your words." Only someone who is fully honest with themselves and others and embraces their true character has the power to affect the world around them.

"What we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do." ~Stephen Covey

- Coin pendant is 1" in diameter.

Purchase this coin as a keychain instead of a necklace here.

If you are unsure about which chain length to order, please read our suggestions on the FAQ page.

Please note: All our brass pendants are raw brass, meaning they are not electroplated and will develop a beautiful patina over time. We recommend polishing it with a soft cloth to help keep your pendant's original shine if you prefer the bright metal look.

1.) Choose a pendant that speaks to you and will spark positive action in your life.
2.) Fill out your free guided Mindset Manifesto to figure out what is important to you in life and the type of behavior shifts you want to focus on every day.
3.) Read your personal manifesto every morning and wear your memento pendant daily as a physical reminder of your newly found direction.

Beautiful

Love the mottos this is the 5th necklace I bought. I was so happy with the 1st one I decided they would make meaningful xmas presents to close friends. I’m also impressed with the fast shipping about 4 days to Australia. So glad I found this store. I will buy again sometime.

Happy with this

I have been wearing this 24/7 for a week. No staining when I sweat or shower, don't even notice it when sleeping. The chain length (18") works well - doesn't bounce around much when I run, is subtly noticeable when wearing a v-neck shirt. Both the chain and the medalion look masculine but not Guido-ish. I like the company's values, and the Latin phrase is my reminder that *being* something is always better than *try* to be something.

Great Necklace

Exactly as advertised! A beautiful piece, and the brass had gained a beautiful patina with use. I love this necklace.
