Baltic serpent rings

Baltic brass rings featuring serpent motifs are inspired by archaeological findings from the region, reflecting a rich cultural heritage.

In Baltic symbolism, the serpent is often associated with protection, fertility, and the cyclical nature of life. These rings, adorned with intricate serpent designs, were believed to bring happiness and safety to one's home. The serpent motif also held connotations of justice, embodying the balance and harmony essential in society. Such jewelry pieces not only served as personal adornments but also as talismans imbued with deep symbolic meanings, connecting the wearer to the spiritual beliefs and values of the Baltic peoples.
