Snake ring meaning, popularity and our recommended pieces
The snake has been used frequently in jewelry since ancient times. Snake jewelry, especially snake rings, is elegant and mysterious and has always been a beloved jewelry element.
History of snake jewelry
Between the 1820s and the 1950s, European culture was greatly influenced by Eastern culture. Indian culture, in particular, had significant influence in the jewelry industry.
The snake plays an important role in the Indian culture. It primarily represents rebirth, death and mortality, due to its casting of its skin and being symbolically "reborn".
Over a large part of India there are carved representations of cobras or nagas or stones as substitutes. To these human food and flowers are offered and lights are burned before the shrines.
Artisans then put the shape of a snake with its mouth biting its tail into jewelry, symbolizing infinity.
In ancient Egypt, the snake represented wisdom and kingship. A lot of Pharaohs' crowns were adorned with a cobra, with its head up in a ready to attack position. On Pharaohs' scepters, we can always see a coiled snake.
The snake symbolizes the wisdom of Solomon, and the cobra was the protector of the ancient Egyptian monarchs. It is the emblem of supreme power.
