The Ouroboros serpent holds significant meaning and symbolism in jewellery design. As an ancient symbol, it represents concepts such as eternity, cyclicality, and the eternal cycle of life. When incorporated into jewelry, the Ouroboros symbolizes eternal love, continuity, and the interconnectedness of all things. It serves as a powerful reminder of the cyclical nature of existence and the perpetual renewal of life. Additionally, the serpent motif in jewellery often conveys themes of transformation, wisdom, and protection. Condition: This bracelet is pre-owned, and it has been resized.
