For much of the world’s history, the snake has been a rather potent symbol among different civilizations. In Egypt, the snake was a symbol of royalty and worshipped as a deity. In Greece, the symbol of the snake biting its own tail was meant to represent all cycle of life and death. From the Middle Ages on, the snake has represented rebirth, passion, eternal love, fortune, and good health. The snake motif also enjoyed a resurgence of popularity during the Victorian era when Prince Albert proposed to Queen Victoria with a snake ring that had an emerald head.

Snake jewelry from King Baby

The fantastic thing about serpentine designs is that the undulating form of the snake allows for much in the way of interpretation and inspiration. You can use a snake skin pattern, an exact copy of a snake, or have the design be as abstract as just a coiling form. Whatever your preference, there’s bound to be a snake-inspired design to suit your style.
