Women's Gold Aeterna Bracelet In Cauda Venenum
Adjustable cuff representing a snake biting its tail, partially textured with scales. The symbol of the snake biting its own tail has held great significance for thousands of years. Its origins date back to Ancient Egypt, and it has endured through the ages and across cultures, retaining its fundamental meaning: the infinite cycle, eternity. Its strength lies in its representation of self-destruction, but also resurrection, which is why it can be found on many sarcophagi, including that of Tutankhamun. Aeterna, which means 'eternity' in Latin, embodies the flexibility and elegance of the snake in a jewel full of personality, charged with meaning and history. Recycled 24k gold plated brass. Handmade in France In Cauda Venenum jewellery's materials are durable but not indestructible and require specific care to ensure their longevity.
