Blue opal v-shaped necklace with Meander
Blue Opal meander necklace
Meandros design is a decorative border constructed from a continuous line, shaped into a repeated motif. Such a design is also called the Greek fret or Greek key design, although these are modern designations. On the one hand, the name “meander” recalls the twisting and turning path of the Meander River in Asia Minor, and on the other hand, as Karl Kerenyi pointed out, “the meander is the figure of a labyrinth in linear form”. The meaning is that there is no beginning and no end in some cases, so it has become the symbol of long life and eternity.

The snake is an ancient, cross-cultural symbol with a vast range of meanings. It can represent everything from evil and temptation to the universe, eternity, fertility, sexuality, wisdom, healing, and rejuvenation.
In ancient Greek mythology, snakes appear in numerous tales:
According to one legend, Ophion, the serpent, ruled the world until he was overthrown by Cronus and Rhea.
In the Minoan civilization, the Goddess with Snakes, depicted holding a snake in each hand, symbolized wisdom and fertility.
Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine, gained healing knowledge by observing snakes, and his rod, with a snake wrapped around it, continues to be the symbol of medicine today.
Across various cultures and traditions, the snake has remained a powerful symbol, transcending borders and time.
