Serpent Choker Sterling Silver Pendant Ruby Tanzanite Gold Chain
Designer: J DAUPHIN
The Snake Choker is handcrafted with a silver serpent pendant set with five rubies and two tanzanite eyes, on a gold plated silver chain. It measures 18 inches. Available entirely in silver or gold plated silver. Made to order.
The serpent sheds its skin whole and comes out new, which is why it has stood across every tradition for rebirth, transformation, and healing. Worn at the throat, the place where what is inside a person becomes speech, it is the sign of turning inward to shed what has been outgrown and coming back changed. The rubies are the stone of the blood and of the root, worn for life force and for the strength to meet one's own needs, and the tanzanite eyes are the higher sight, the blue that draws the eye upward, so the serpent looks out from instinct toward what is above.
