Forever Charming: Why Snake Jewelry Is, Was, and Always Will be Popular. The serpent is a very interesting animal. It has been feared and even worshiped for centuries. What makes it so popular and cool is the shape of the animal. It is flexible, making the jewel flexible and movable, therefore unique and unlike any other piece. The snake also has a symbolic meaning. A snake eating its tail is a symbolic meaning of eternal life and love.
The snake itself has a special meaning of eternal love and life, eternity, flexibility, strength, power. Celebrities, kings, and queens have for centuries worn this popular symbol on their necks and on their wrists and fingers. If a Queen wore snake jewel, it meant protection from enemies, especially if she wore cobra snake jewelry. From Britain’s Queen Elizabeth 1, Queen Alexandra, to today’s Queen Camilla, and even Queen Victoria have all embraced snake jewelry in the form of necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings.
Diana Vreeland, the legendary Vogue editor, wrote to her readers once: “Don’t forget the serpent!” It is no wonder that all jewelry designers worth their salt are embracing this unique and stylish design. This animal has captivated, hypnotized, and inspired millions of people around the world and that is why Italian jewel house, Blvgari, is making millions every year on just one thing, gold snake jewelry.
