Passionate about reptiles, she brought the symbol of the snake up to date by associating it with a romantic dimension. It becomes a sentimental talisman because the image of the snake biting its own tail, called ouroboros, illustrates eternal love. Associated with diamonds, whose etymology refers to the unshakable, the inflexible, the two snakes here present refer to the two loved ones whose love is indestructible and therefore eternal!
