In many cultures, this fierce little creature has long embodied ideals of protectiveness, isolation, strength, and the Sun. To the ancient Greeks and Romans, it represented the constellation and Zodiac symbol of Scorpio. The ancient Egyptians regarded it as the totem animal of the goddess Selket, who helped control magic, fertility, healing, and venomous creatures.
Our version is cast in .925 sterling silver: realistically detailed on front and back, from its coiled tail to its crouching legs and alert stance.
Height includes a cast-in 2.8mm (1mm inner diameter) jump ring at the tail tip, holding a free-swinging 20ga 5mm soldered jump ring. The front pincers come together at the bottom, to form a possible hanging station for customized bead dangles, charms, or chains. Stamped 925.
