Later assimilated by the Romans and found on magical talismans, the ouroboros was also adopted by Gnostics, alchemists, and is similarly found in Norse mythology, as well as South American indigenous mythology, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eHand carved and cast using traditional lost-wax casting techniques\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003ePendant measures 12x13mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eSustainably handmade in solid, recycled 14k gold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eStrung on a sparkly, 16-18” adjustable chain with lobster clasp\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Talisman Fine Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51750697992482,"sku":"SQ9471870","price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1002\/6886\/7874\/files\/talisman-ouroboros_neckalce1.jpg?v=1780371012","url":"https:\/\/talismanfinejewelry.co\/products\/talisman-fine-jewelry-gold-ouroboros-necklace","provider":"Talisman Fine Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
