From her website: Solid recycled bronze Ethically made in the USA 22k gold vermeil rolo chain Pendant measures: 2.5" length x 0.5" wide (at widest point) Lovingly crafted for your empowerment... Snake is a magical and supportive guide to work with during times of transition in ones life. She helps us cultivate a deeper understanding and connection to beauty as her medicine gently guides us through growth & transformation. Her tendency to stay ever so close to the earth reminds us to breathe... move mindfully & to stay grounded and true to the soil that nurtures us. This becomes the practice of trust. Trusting in ourselves and Spirit to guide us. Listen to your heart. Snake teaches us to regularly shed our skins of old beliefs and patterns that no longer serve our highest good. She assists us in mastering the art of transformation and rebirth... as well as strength, perseverance and loyalty. I designed this shield necklace as an ode to her and an amulet to remember her wisdom. Worn once and I love it but unfortunately I do not reach for her. 20inch chain
