Oroborus Necklace
Made by VAU
The ouroboros is one of the oldest symbols in human culture, a serpent consuming its own tail, signifying the eternal cycle of destruction and renewal. VAU's Oroborus Necklace distills that mythology into a single, considered gesture: a circle with a subtle twist that quietly shifts the form from pure geometry into something more charged.
Cast in solid metal and finished by hand in VAU's workshop in Zagreb, Croatia, the piece carries the weight and presence that distinguishes crafted objects from manufactured ones. The hand-polished surface catches light with restraint, allowing the silhouette to speak for itself.
- Solid metal construction with hand-polished finish
- Made to order in Zagreb, Croatia
- Reinterpretation of the classical ouroboros symbol
VAU approaches jewelry as a design discipline. Each piece is made to order, produced in small batches in their own European workshop, and designed to accumulate meaning over time rather than trend.

Frequently Asked Questions
What metal is the VAU Oroborus Necklace made from?
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.
What does the ouroboros symbol represent?
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.
Is the VAU Oroborus Necklace made to order?
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.
Where is VAU jewelry designed and produced?
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.
How does the VAU Oroborus Necklace differ from a standard circle pendant?
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.
