The Ouroboros Ring

The Ouroboros (also spelled Uroboros and Oroboris), is an ancient symbol illustrated by a serpent swallowing its own tail, forming a circle.  From 1600 B.C. in Egypt to the movie: “the Never Ending Story” the Ouroboros has been found in cultures through out many ages, cultures and lore.

The Ouroboros often represents self-reflexivity or cyclicality, something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return, and other things perceived as cycles that begin anew as soon as they end. It can also signify the concept of primordial unity related to persisting from the beginning with such force or qualities it cannot be destroyed. The ouroboros has been important in religious and mythological imagery, used in alchemical illustrations, where it symbolizes the circular nature of their work.

I have captured the Ouroboros as a ring for your finger.  This version has a small diamond shape cut into the forehead symbolizing the “third eye” adding the concept of perception through illusion; lightly textured and smooth for comfort and wear ability.  Each ring is made as it is ordered, providing the recipient to request quarter sizes.
