Rod of Asclepius Drop Earrings, 925° Sterling Silver

Symbol of Health

The Rod of Asclepius, which is wrapped by Offine, the omnipotent serpent of divine origin, is deemed the most significant symbol of medical science from antiquity to the present day.  It was adopted by Hippocrates, the first Greek physician and Father of Medicine.  In Greek mythology, Asclepius is the god of medicine, and the rod appears as an abstract concept of the great healing and therapeutic powers of nature.  In jewelry, it was used as an amulet to preserve good health and cure diseases of spirit, body and soul.

Menander, Ancient Greek Dramatist, 4th Century BC, said:
Health and intellect are the two blessings of life.

May the Rod of Asclepius and the powerful healing qualities it represents serve as your personal source of inspiration for attaining serenity and spiritual and physical well-being.
