Ouroboros - Pendant, Pewter

The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol of cosmic eternity and the cycle between beginning and end. It shows head and tail of a snake entwining itself and biting in its own tail end. This pendant symbolizes security in life and is said to help its wearer to reach long-term goals.
 
This pendant is made of pewter. The word pewter is probably a variation of the word spelter, a colloquial name for the same metal. Artists and craftsmen used pewter quite early (dinnerware, sculptures, household articles, pewter figures, jewelry) and hence pewter jewelry has a long tradition. Pewter is a popular material for jewelry production, since it is a shiny, soft metal which is very malleable and has a good tarnish resistance.
