The Serpent of the Verdant Gate

The Serpent of the Verdant Gate

Green Agate & Jasper Gothic Serpent Pendant 

Hand-wrapped in antiqued copper | One-of-a-kind 

A pendant woven with the quiet danger of old forests and the sacred symbolism of the serpent. The green agate at its heart glows like polished jade beneath candlelight—smooth, ancient, and carrying the colour of deep moss and hidden groves. Coiled protectively around it, an elegant copper serpent winds its way across the stone, as though guarding a secret meant only for its chosen bearer.

Above the main stone sit two fiery jasper beads—russet and gold—like embers set into a relic forged by a wandering alchemist. Their warm tones contrast the cool green below, creating a piece that feels alive, balanced between earth and flame, shadow and growth.

Stone Lore & Properties

Green Agate

A stone of grounding and heart-born strength, green agate has long been associated with healing, stability, and emotional steadiness. Ancient lore claims it was used as a protective charm against misfortune and envy, carried by herbalists and midwives as a token of calm in turbulent moments.

It is believed to:

• Strengthen resilience and inner balance

• Promote calm, steady growth

• Encourage emotional clarity and protection

• Connect the wearer to nature’s quiet wisdom

Jasper

Known as the “blood of the earth,” jasper is a stone of fire, endurance, and protection. Its warm tones were cherished by travellers and warriors alike, believed to steady the mind, fortify courage, and ward against harm.

The Serpent Symbol

In gothic and ancient traditions, the serpent represents:

• Hidden knowledge

• Transformation

• Protection

• Rebirth and renewal

Here, the copper serpent is both guardian and guide—an emblem of wisdom coiled around the heart of the stone.

Design Notes

The antiqued copper wirework forms a shield-like frame, intricate and relic-like, enhancing the pendant’s aura of mystery. Over time, the copper will deepen into an even richer patina, amplifying its dark romantic charm.
