Snake ring meaning

The circle has always been a significant symbol representing wholeness and perfection, and rings have symbolised eternal love for centuries, particularly in Christian marriage ceremonies. Snake rings add to the symbolism of the circle, with different significance in several cultures. In Greek mythology, snake rings were worn in honour of the Greek healing god Asclepius, who Zeus struck down as he feared Asclepius would transform all of mankind into immortals. Today, the snake is still the symbol of medicine. In Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, snakes were regarded for their skin-shedding as a symbol for regeneration and rebirth. Snake rings also appear as symbolically significant artefacts in many religions, including Christianity and Hinduism, as well as cultures in the Aztec, Norse, and Chinese civilisations.   The ring can be resized however please contact us to make sure it can be done to your finger size.
