Sterling Silver Rod of Asclepius Pendant: Medical Symbol Jewelry
A detailed Rod of Asclepius pendant cast in solid sterling silver, 1.75" long, with the recesses oxidized to bring out the finest detail. The Rod of Asclepius, a serpent wrapped around a staff, is the ancient Greek symbol of medicine and healing. Asclepius, son of Apollo, was the god of medicine; the snake, which sheds its skin, stands for renewal, and the staff for authority. A meaningful gift for a graduating nurse, a doctor or anyone in the medical community. Arrives in a Moon Raven Designs gift box.
About the symbol
The snake on the staff is often said to be the Aesculapian snake, a rat snake native to southern and central Europe that the Romans are said to have spread to their healing spas.

Care Instructions
How do I take care of my jewelry?
Sterling Silver
Sterling silver naturally develops a patina over time. To restore shine, gently rub with the polishing cloth included in your order. For detailed pieces, use a soft toothbrush with warm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly.
Bronze & Brass
Our bronze and brass pieces are designed to develop a rich, aged patina. To maintain the original finish, rub gently with the included polishing cloth. Avoid contact with water, perfumes, and lotions.
Stainless Steel
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Stainless steel is highly durable and resistant to tarnish.
Do you have a warranty?
Yes! We stand behind our craftsmanship. If any defect in materials or workmanship occurs, simply contact us and we'll repair or replace your piece. This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches from use, or damage from improper care or storage.
How do I use the polishing cloth?
Gently rub the surface of your piece with the polishing cloth. Never wash the cloth as it will lose its effectiveness. Keep out of reach of children.
