One of the world's most enduring symbols of eternal life, the ouroboros saw a resurgence during the Victorian era, owing to a popular fascination with antiquity. The symbol of a snake consuming its own tail is no less powerful now, even — and especially — when its tail cradles an energetic gemstone. Choose white sapphire to call in wisdom, or red garnet to ignite inner passions. Both stones bring their own power to this timeless protective talisman.
