Any piece of jewelry carries a special meaning for its owner. Decoration can be not only an excellent addition to the image, but also a talisman. The snake bracelet will become a symbolic accessory, because this cold animal has been considered one of the most mystical and mysterious for many centuries.

A few thousand years ago, people made snake-shaped jewelry. Many artists depicted them in their works, singing the power and beauty of the snake. In the Middle Ages, such items were worn as amulets, and were made of gold - for rich people, or leather - for commoners. And some were even made from the real spine of a snake. However, this technology still exists.

Golden bracelets most popular due to their versatility and self-sufficiency. They go well with both casual and weekend wear and, according to many women, add confidence and highlight an elegant outfit. "Snake" bracelets are not deprived of the attention of well-known jewelry boutiques, which often present collections of jewelry in the form of snakes. And the Italian brand Carlo Illario even made the snake bracelet its logo.

The next most successful metal in the jewelry market is silver... More and more women today prefer this elegant noble material. It is not as flashy as gold and will go with absolutely any outfit.

However, the silver snake is quite capricious in relation to other accessories. For example, when wearing this bracelet, it is important not to overdo it with the rest of the details, so as not to overload the image. You will most likely have to ditch chains or necklaces and large rings.We must not forget that the snake is a proud animal that should focus all attention on itself.

In addition, a silver item requires special care. It includes regular cleaning with special solutions or baking soda.

In addition to gold and silver, there are also items in the form of snakes from bronze... Such models look no worse, however, they are less popular, because bronze is associated with "third-rate" metal for everyone, although in fact this, of course, is not the case.

Separate line of snake bracelets – products inlaid with precious stones. In ancient times, these jewelry were an attribute of luxury and sophistication, available only to a select few. The stones convey the beauty and majesty of the depicted animal.

The spine of a snake is one of the most expensive materials used to create bracelets. Such decorations look unusually beautiful, visually resemble ivory. The vertebrae are fastened together, and nylon laces are woven into both ends, with the help of which the product is fixed on the arm.

In the endless variety of snake bracelets, two types can be distinguished:

• soft (made like chains of various weaves);
• rigid (articulated, closed).

There is also a separate type of weaving called "snake"... A similar bracelet can be easily made with your own hands from two ordinary laces of different colors.

For more than three thousand years, jewelers have been creating amulets in the form of snakes. From time immemorial, this animal has been considered the embodiment of incredible strength and energy. The snake talisman protects its owner and is a symbol of power and might. This belief existed in the ancient civilizations of Greece, Egypt and India.

The snake's property to periodically shed its skin makes this symbol ambiguous, combining death and subsequent rebirth, evil and good, passion and wisdom. He also personifies the feminine principle, wealth and the power of water. So, the snake is the most universal symbol of all, and therefore everyone will discover in it a meaning suitable for themselves.

The snake is the hero of many myths and legends in many world cultures. This is an attribute of the Greek goddess Athena. The Egyptians believed in the ability of the amulet to facilitate childbirth and protect the hearth. The Romans believed that the snake symbol prolongs life and preserves youth, and in ancient India, snake-shaped jewelry was worn to get rid of infertility.

The value of jewelry in the form of this mysterious animal lies not only in the precious metal from which it is made, but also in the magical properties of the symbol. And although modern man rather associates the snake with something slippery and unpleasant, it does not lose its sacred meaning to this day. In addition, it is the snake that is the symbol of medicine, symbolizing protection from poison and healing.
