Sweet With Secrets

Intricately detailed sterling silver snake ring. For many centuries the snake has been a symbol of renewal and rebirth because of its own transformation through the shedding of its outer layer of skin. Others regard this powerful creature as a figure that represents protection and guardianship because when threatened, they tend to stand their ground and fight rather than retreat. Many ancient sites have used symbols of snakes at their entryways as symbolic defenders and having a snake talisman is a potent reminder of strength and courage in the face of fear and adversity.
