Oroborus Necklace

The Oroborus Necklace is made from solid metal with a hand-polished finish. For specific alloy details or finish options, contacting VAU directly or the authorized retailer is recommended, as made-to-order pieces can sometimes be produced in different metal options.

The ouroboros is an ancient symbol, traced across Egyptian, Greek, and alchemical traditions, depicting a serpent or dragon consuming its own tail. It represents the cycle of life and death, continuity, and the unity of beginning and end - concepts that have resonated across cultures for millennia.

Yes. Every VAU piece is made to order in the brand's own workshop in Zagreb, Croatia, which means production begins at the time of purchase. This approach ensures a higher standard of craft and reduces excess production.

VAU is a design-led jewelry brand that both designs and produces its pieces in Zagreb, Croatia. Working from their own workshop gives VAU direct control over quality and finish at every stage.

The distinguishing detail is a deliberate twist in the metal circle, which breaks the flatness of a simple ring form and references the movement implied in the ouroboros symbol. That single torsion gives the pendant visual tension and a sense of motion without additional ornamentation.
