THE DESIGN STORY

Sinuous and sculptural, the Snake Hoops draw on one of the most enduring motifs in ancient jewellery. Across Greek, Roman, and Egyptian traditions, the serpent has long symbolised transformation, protection, and eternal renewal - its continuous form representing life’s cyclical nature.

These hoops reinterpret the ancient emblem through a modern lens. Sitting flat against the ear, their fluid lines wrap softly around it, echoing the movement of the snake in motion. Light in weight yet rich in texture, they bring quiet strength and timeless allure to everyday wear.

Our 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.
