Throughout history, serpents and snakes have stood as powerful symbols in cultures worldwide. They can be found in mythology, religion, and art, and they are potent symbols of transformation, rebirth, and protection.
In the world of jewelry, serpent-inspired designs carry these rich meanings, making them both timeless and meaningful pieces to wear.
Let’s dive into the symbolism and look at some of the gorgeous serpent-inspired pieces in our collection.
What Do Serpents and Snakes Mean?
One of the most prominent symbols associated with snakes is that of rebirth and transformation. This stems from the snake's ability to shed its skin, a process that represents renewal and the shedding of the old to make way for the new.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, the serpent was a symbol of protection, often shown on the crowns of pharaohs as a rearing cobra that protected the wearer. Similarly, in Greek mythology, the snake is often associated with healing and medicine, symbolized by the Rod of Asclepius, which features a serpent entwined around a staff.
In addition, snakes represent eternity and the cycle of life. A serpent eating its own tail is an ancient symbol depicting the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth. This idea of infinity is a key reason why serpent-inspired jewelry has been a popular choice for those seeking to wear meaningful and symbolic pieces.
