Snakes have been worn in jewellery since Egyptian times and throughout history have had many different meanings for the wearer. I see snakes as a symbol of rebirth and regeneration, marking changes and personal growth.

These small snakes are designed to slither along the earlobe and a drop a little below – see photo on mannequin. They form part of a collection which includes a pendant, large earrings with optional pearls and two versions in rings.
