2025 ushers in the Year of the Snake, which means we have a year of transformative energy ahead – a force which enables us to shed old habits, beliefs and structures and to embrace new possibilities.

In the Chinese zodiac, the Snake is strongly associated with charm and elegance. Who better, therefore, than the skilled artisans of Ole Lynggaard to craft the perfect tribute to this powerful and influential sign? The Danish master first discovered the hypnotic beauty of the serpentine form during a visit to Cairo, Egypt in the early 1960s. The young goldsmith immediately created his first fine jewellery snake for wife and muse, Karin.
