It's the Year of the Snake!

Serpent jewelry has been worn since ancient times. It symbolizes eternal love, healing, fertility, wisdom and even immortality. In early Egyptian society it was the symbol of royalty and the Romans regarded the snake as a symbol of everlasting love.

The snake is a symbol of secret knowledge, cunning and transformation. Those who are drawn to the snake are gifted at perceiving life through the lens of magic and mystery. The calming energy of the noble snake offers you intuitive messages, spiritual growth, and enlightenment. It is a powerful and ancient totem of rebirth and renewal.

The serpent, when forming a ring with its tail in its mouth, is a clear and widespread symbol of the “All-in-All“, the totality of existence, infinity and the cyclic nature of the cosmos. The serpent is shown as a circle, which stands for the cycle of eternal return, or for eternity in general, and that’s an image of life and represents immortal energy.
