Sterling Silver Uroboro Snake Pendant, Glasses Accessory, Semiprecious Stone

Gorgeous pendant inspired by the Uroboro snake. It can also become a beautiful and convenient eyeglass accessory!

The ouroboros or uroboros is a very ancient symbol, present in many peoples and at different times.
It depicts a serpent or dragon eating its own tail, forming a circle without beginning or end.
Seemingly immobile, but in eternal movement, it represents the power that devours and regenerates itself, the universal energy that consumes and renews itself continuously, the cyclical nature of things, which begin again from the beginning after reaching their end.
It therefore symbolizes unity, the totality of the world, infinity, eternity, cyclical time, eternal return, immortality and perfection.
The oldest depiction of an uroboros is found in an ancient Egyptian funerary text, called The Enigmatic Book of the Netherworld, found in the tomb of the 18th Dynasty Pharaoh Tutankhamun. The image depicts two snakes biting each other's tails and encircling the head and feet of a mummiform divine figure. Both snakes are manifestations of the deity Mehen, the beneficent serpent god who protects the Sun Boat of Ra and whose name means 'he who is coiled'.

Each piece has been individually hand-forged, shaped and filed, which makes that no two pendants are exactly alike!

☛ CARE TIPS
Sterling silver is a hard metal that will stand the test of time but it tend to tarnish or darken over time and when comes in contact with the oils of your skin. So aged or darkened metal is a natural process and it really depends on each individual person as to how long it will take before your piece tarnishes. Tarnish is the superficial oxidation caused by the contact of the silver with the sulfur of the atmosphere. Stains created by this process, at an early stage can be removed easily by rubbing with a soft piece of cloth. At a later stage, when the jewels are too tarnished, you need to use one of the many liquid cleansers for silver items that are widely available in the market.

Like all jewelry, in order for your silver ones to remain as shiny and beautiful as new, you have to follow some rules:
*Store your jewelry in a clean and dry place or in a plastic zip-bag.
*Try to avoid perfume, lotion, chlorine, and other chemicals or cosmetics, to maintain the beauty of the jewelry.
*Clean your sterling silver pieces regularly.
*The safest and most effective way to polish sterling silver is to wipe it gently with a soft cloth
*If you want to remove silver tarnish, you can try adding a small amount of mild detergent to the piece, and then use a soft cloth
