【Rod of Asclepius. Yellow Topaz Pendant】14K White Gold, Magic Wand, Staff, Platinum, Cubic Zirconia

✦ Design Concept ✦ The Rod of Asclepius originates from the Caduceus, the staff of Hermes, the messenger god in Greek mythology. The staff represents the human spine, also known as the "central channel" that signifies the present, evolution, and spiritual advancement. The serpent coiled around the staff symbolizes the process of renewal and regeneration (the ability to heal), signifying rebirth, as the ancient Greeks believed snakes shed their skin annually. 【Inspired by the Rod of Asclepius, this design is adorned with the sophisticated sparkle of cubic zirconia, beautifully complementing the vibrant hue of yellow topaz. The brushed gold finish on the platinum enhances its subtle luxury. Topaz is believed to harmonize and balance the body's chakras, and when paired with the healing symbolism of the Rod of Asclepius, this piece becomes a highly spiritual yet fashionable accessory, perfect for any ensemble.】 ✦ Dimensions & Materials ✦ ● Total length including pendant: approx. 6 cm / Widest point: 2.5 cm ● Cubic Zirconia (Artificial diamonds) ● PT950 (95% Platinum) ● Partial 18K gold plating ● Yellow Topaz: approx. 1.1 x 0.9 cm / 0.8 x 0.7 cm ● Product Code: ATB11 ● Notes: 1.

Its origins trace back to the staff held by Asclepius, the Greek god of healing. The staff in the Rod of Asclepius represents the human spine, also known as the "central channel" that signifies the present, evolution, and spiritual advancement. The serpent coiled around the staff symbolizes the process of renewal and regeneration (the ability to heal), signifying rebirth, as the ancient Greeks believed snakes shed their skin annually. In medicine, this represents healing, recovery, and life-saving actions, and the symbol also highlights the responsibility of healthcare professionals. Many government departments and international organizations responsible for health and hygiene feature the Rod of Asclepius in their emblems. ● Asclepius Also known as Aesculapius in Roman mythology, he is the Greek god of healing, son of Apollo. He is depicted holding the Rod of Asclepius. His daughters, Hygieia, Iaso, Aceso, and Panacea, are goddesses associated with cleanliness, healing, and medicine. It is said that Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician revered as the "Father of Medicine," was a descendant of Asclepius. After Zeus killed Asclepius with a thunderbolt, Zeus is said to have elevated his soul to the heavens, transforming him into the constellation Ophiuchus (the Serpent Bearer). ● Topaz The birthstone for November, known as the "stone of friendship," it symbolizes sincerity and steadfast love, signifying beauty and intelligence. It represents prosperity and vitality, capable of dispelling fatigue, regulating emotions, and rebuilding confidence and life goals. Ancient Greeks referred to topaz as a "gemstone with powerful magical properties." Westerners believed topaz could be worn as a talisman to ward off evil spirits, dispel sorrow, and enhance confidence. Topaz helps to clear negative energy, alleviate sadness, boost personal confidence, promote calmness in challenging situations, and attract wealth. Topaz aids in enhancing the wearer's communication and persuasive abilities, bolstering self-assurance, and enabling them to handle difficulties with composure and success. ※ The above descriptions are sourced from the internet and are for reference only. ※ ✦ Purchase Information ✦ 1.
