Description
The Ophis pinky ring is handcrafted in wax and then cast in recycled sterling silver. It is adorned with a round garnet, oxydized and then burnished to emphasize the ring's lines.
Every Ophis ring is slightly unique due to its handmade origin.
Garnet size: 4 mm diameter
The ring is adjustable. Please adjust the size with care.
The name of the ring derives from the ancient Greek word for 'snake'. The snake had a prominent role in Archaic and Classical Greece. The snake’s alien biological traits make it especially suitable as a symbolic expression for multiple ideas, from the exploration of the very concept of life and death to the investigation of questions of identity, ancestry, and “otherness”.
Αncient Greeks perceived the existence of a primordial force living within, emanating from, or symbolized by the snake; a force which is pure life, with all its paradoxes and complexities. The snake serves as a powerful gateway for exploring Greek concepts of divinity, anthropomorphism, and ancestry, as well as the interconnectedness between humans, nature, and the supernatural.
The snake totem embodied "mystical" characteristics: the Earth was the Mother, and the snake was her child par excellence. It knew everything about her, crawling on her with his whole body, so it embodied divination and wisdom. The Earth gives life and accepts death within its soil so the serpent becomes a confidante of these secrets, a bearer of death and mystery, while its ability to change its skin was linked with concepts of immortality and regeneration.
