Symbolic Meaning:
This piece is elegantly crafted in Sterling Silver and features the Ouroboros and Triquetra symbols. The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. The name originates from the Greek language; "oura" which means "tail" and "boros" which means "eating". The Ouroboros represents the perpetual cyclic renewal of life and infinity, the concept of eternity and the cycle of life, death and rebirth, leading to immortality, as in the Phoenix. The Ouroboros is typically represented in a circular form and symbolises time, the continuity of life, completion, the repetition of history and the self-sufficiency of nature. Latin for “three cornered”, the Triquetra symbol is also referred to as the Trinity Knot or Celtic Triangle. The interlocking loops creates the intersection of the three circles which means that there is no beginning and no ending to this knot. The symbolism runs deep encompassing infinity, eternity, protection, equality and divine femininity. There are various “trio” meanings to this knot including “Mind, Body and Soul”, “Father, Son and Holy Ghost”, “Earth, Wind, Fire”. Similar to the Ouroboros, the Triquetra also represents “past, present and future” and “life, death and rebirth”. Wear this powerful symbol in celebration of the precious moments of life, savouring the time you spend with those you love.©
