Historical Curiosities
Snake rings date back to antiquity and have gone through centuries of fashions and trends. In ancient Rome, they were particularly popular among women, who wore them as a symbol of protection and power. The ancient Romans considered the serpent to be a guardian of life and health, and many times the serpent was linked to the goddess of medicine, Hygieia, daughter of Asclepius.
Furthermore, the snake's ability to shed its skin made it a symbol of renewal, perfect for those who wanted an amulet that represented personal transformation.
