Ouroboros Snake Hoops Solid Gold

Alchemical - Embracing the mystique of transformation.

The enigmatic Ouroboros symbol, revered as the epitome of eternal recurrence, traces its origins back through millennia, captivating hearts and minds across continents. From its revered presence in the golden sanctum of Tutankhamun to the fervent laboratories of Renaissance alchemists, this circular emblem, known as the "tail devourer," has woven itself into the fabric of human consciousness, accumulating myriad layers of significance.

Encircled with the profound words "One is All" by the ancient Greeks, the Ouroboros was employed by the Egyptians to symbolise the cyclical nature of time—a perpetual rhythm of birth, life, and rebirth. For the Gnostics, it epitomized the harmonious coexistence of the divine and the earthly realms. Adorn yourself with this meticulously hand-carved earring, a potent talisman that serves as a poignant reminder of nature's perpetual cycle, the eternal dance of life and death, and your rightful place within the infinite time continuum.
