A decadent, incredible necklace - antique 18k gold charm wrapped with an oxidized sterling silver snake with garnet eyes and strung from an unusual, glittering 18k gold chain. 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.
