Sapphire Snake Necklace

Sapphire Snake Necklace in Sterling Silver

Snakes have long been symbols of renewal, growth and transformation. They shed their skin again and again, carrying the same life forward in a different form. There's something hopeful about that. The reminder that starting over isn't failure, but rather part of being alive.

At the head of the silver snake sits an unheated pink sapphire from Tanzania. Pink sapphire carries meaning around love, compassion and keeping your heart open.

Together, the snake and sapphire tell a different story than either would alone. Change, without becoming hard. Growth, without losing your tenderness. Leaving parts of yourself behind while staying connected to your heart. Softness and transformation can belong in the same sentence.

The snake curves across the collarbone in a single line of recycled sterling silver. Simple and playful, with a sturdy twisted rope chain for everyday wear.

We've only ever made three of these. Choose your length.

Recycled sterling silver

We work with a local refiner who recycles silver from post-consumer sources, like old jewelry, silverware, and even silver recovered from x-rays and other medical waste. This doesn’t stop new silver from being mined (most silver is a byproduct of other metals anyway), but it does cut emissions by about 8x compared to newly mined silver. And it keeps what already exists in circulation, instead of letting it go to waste.

Want to join in? If you have old silver jewelry or silverware gathering dust, you can bring it to our showroom. We’ll recycle it and give you shop credit in return.

Sapphire

Sapphire is the September birthstone and blue sapphire is the primary zodiac birthstone for Virgo. The wisdom stone. Loyal, faithful, a keeper of truth. For centuries, people turned to sapphire to protect what they love.

She’s the friend who helps you see straight, the shield that keeps the bad energy out, the reminder to trust your gut. Her surface shines with power, but her real gift is softer: hope, peace and the kind of insight that anchors you when life spins too fast.

If you’re building something that lasts, or craving clarity in the mess of everyday life, you’ll want sapphire by your side. Explore sapphire jewelry that keeps your wisdom close.

How to care for your jewelry

Over time, silver tends to tarnish, reflecting its personal journey with you. Depending on your environment, exposure to air, moisture, chemicals, and sebum, this process can speed up. Many find that this natural aging adds charm and character to each piece of jewelry.

If you prefer to keep your jewelry shining, a little care goes a long way.

Please care for your jewelry using the soft cloth included in your purchase. For a gentle, natural cleaning option, consider adding soap nuts to your order.
