Lingling-o Serpent

Lingling-o sterling silver necklace with snake skin ornament. Its beauty is in the balance between simplicity of shape and complexity of meaning.
The lingling-o was worn by people in various regions of the Philippines and also all around Southeast Asia (the oldest ones are believed to be over 2500 years old). It was worn because of its “magical” qualities for fertility and prosperity, and at the same time it represented an abstract concept of the Feminine. The symbol is also considered an amulet.
