OUROBOROS Snake Lariat Unisex Necklace In Gold

The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. The name originates from within the Greek language: "oura," meaning "tail," and "boros," meaning "eating," thus "he who eats the tail."

The Ouroboros represents the perpetual cyclic renewal of life and infinity, the concept of eternity and the eternal return, and the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, leading to immortality, as in the Phoenix.

Societies from throughout history have shaped the Ouroboros to fit their own beliefs and purposes. The image has been seen in ancient Egypt, Japan, and India and utilized in Greek alchemic texts, European woodcuts, Native American tribes, and the Aztecs. It has, at times, been directly associated with such varying symbols as the Roman god Janus, the Chinese Ying Yang, and the Biblical serpent in the Garden of Eden.

All that stuff sounds cool, but let's not forget the important thing about it: how it looks.

You can wear it with everything, and the uniqueness of how it is worn and the detail of the chain will get lots of attention from everyone.

The handmade chain, head, and tail are made out of brass and then 14K gold plated.
