In this sterling silver talisman charm, we married two compelling images - the ouroboros with moon phases. Both speak to the dominance of cycles in human lives. The phases of the moon effect our monthly cycles, emotional flows, and controls the ocean's tides. And, the ouroboros - the serpent eating its own tail - speaks to the cyclic nature of the universe; that creation begins after destruction, and life springs forth from death. It is humanity's never ending story, and our place within it. A powerful symbol of endless return, the ouroboros gives us all hope. Carry this powerful charm in your jewelry collection as a reminder that life is a never ending story. Length measurement includes the 5 mm soldered jump ring.
