Ouroboros Serpent Ring

Great Green Turban shell, cherished since ancient times for its exquisite beauty and used in crafts, as well as for decorating shrines and temples. This Ouroboros serpent ring is crafted using only the nacreous layer of this shell, revealing iridescent, amber-like, and translucent hues. The eyes are inlaid with Ryukyu ebony wood. As each piece is individually hand-carved, they each possess a unique, lifelike expression. The Ouroboros serpent symbolizes a snake or dragon biting its own tail to form a circle, representing eternity, immortality, and completeness. 《Meaning》 Snakes, with their ability to shed their skin and grow, and their resilience to prolonged starvation, are symbols of "death and rebirth" and "eternal youth and immortality." The circular shape, where the beginning and end meet, and the absence of a beginning or end, symbolizes completeness, eternity, and immortality. ⚪︎ A perfect existence with no beginning or end ⚪︎ Eternity and immortality ⚪︎ The eternal recurrence of self-consumption and renewal ⚪︎ The union of truth and knowledge ⚪︎ Creation ⚪︎ Death and rebirth ⚪︎ Eternal youth and immortality 【Size】 The photo shows size 14.
