THE DESIGN STORY

Since antiquity, the snake has held a powerful presence in Greek symbolism, embodying transformation, eternal renewal, and divine protection. From the armlets of Minoan priestesses to the gilded serpent rings of Hellenistic queens, snake motifs in Greek jewellery reflect both beauty and mystery.

Coiled with intention, each curve echoes ancient myth - from the healing staff of Asclepius to Medusa’s serpentine crown. To wear a snake design is to carry centuries of symbolism: protection, resilience, and quiet strength.

This piece is handcrafted through an intricate hand-sculpting process, bring the snake to life in a refined, abstract form. 

All sterling silver pieces are certified in accordance with the Hallmarking Act 1973.

 

ETHOS

Produced in a family run workshop of 7 workmen and women, our pieces are exclusively carved and crafted by hand in Athens, using Ancient Greek jewellery-making techniques and silversmithing. As champions of slow production, we create only small quantities per design. If a piece is sold out you are welcome to place a pre-order, which has a three week turnaround period, for a piece to be made exclusively for you. Unique designs that are not part of our core collection of YSSO Icons, will no longer be available once they sell out. Explore more about our story in the article about YSSO in the New York Times.
