Synonymous with themes of good and evil, the snake is honoured as the 6th Zodiac sign with the limited-edition Albane earrings to celebrate the Year of the Snake. The design offers a hoop silhouette with the snake biting the end of its tail, complete with an all-metal dangling orb motif, enhanced by fine detailed scales in black patina.

Snake symbolism is often associated with transformation, rebirth, immortality, and protection. Historically, serpents and snakes represent fertility or a creative life force. In ancient Egypt, the serpent was seen as a symbol of royalty and divine power. In Greek mythology, snakes were a sign of healing and renewal, symbolised by the staff of Asclepius. Wikipedia
