Description
Serpents and snakes have always played an integral role in religion, mythology, and literature. Throughout the ages these mystical creatures have come to symbolise fertility and creative life force. The serpent’s shedding of its skin is very symbolic of rebirth, transformation, immortality and healing within our lives. The Serpent Ring, in 18k Gold Vermeil, calls on the inner wisdom of its wearer; reminding them with each new day we’re given the opportunity to rebirth into the best versions of ourselves.
Stone Properties
Emerald’s verdant tones are considered to be the concentrated essence of nature and as such symbolise freshness, growth, renewal and vitality. Emeralds open the heart chakra, and their rejuvenating energy facilitates emotional healing. This precious gemstone was favoured by Cleopatra and was considered sacred to the goddess Venus.
Jewellery Care
Temple of the Sun rings are some of our favourite pieces, and being on our hands exposes them to the most wear and tear. To ensure the gold lustre remains golden and bright it is important to remove your rings each time we hand sanitise, apply makeup, cosmetics, shower, swim and even cook. Gold vermeil, like all non-solid gold, is designed to fade over time so our beloved rings need the most attention and care out of all.
Dimensions
SIZE: U.S 6, 7 and 8
Materials
Hand-made from ethically sourced 925 Silver, finished with a high quality 2.5 Micron thick layer of 18K Gold plate ensuring the rich gold lustre is retained longer.
