Gold Chakra Caduceus Necklace

The caduceus represents the staff of the Greek messenger god Hermes (or the Roman Mercury). In Greek legend, Hermes was a god of transitions and boundaries. He was protector and patron of travelers, herdsmen, invention, and trade / commerce.
In the Roman version, Hermes was paralleled with the Roman god Mercury, who developed many similar characteristics, such as being the patron of commerce.
The caduceus symbol alluded directly to the myth of Hermes, who saw two snakes fighting and touched them with his rod so that the two animals would stop fighting and trade would flourish.

Originally, the caduceus was a rod or olive branch ending in two shoots and decorated with garlands or ribbons. Later the garlands were interpreted as two snakes entwined in opposite directions with their heads facing each other. A pair of wings, in token of Hermes’ speed, was attached to the staff above the snakes.

Ironically, it has been used as a medical symbol for almost two hundred years. It has often been mistaken for the Rod of Asclepius - a similar looking symbol, but with only one serpent - belonging to the god of healing and medicine.

Regardless, these caduceus necklaces are adorned with chakra stones keeping you balanced no matter whether your intention is healing, manifestation or flow in your business, protection during travel and so on!

These pendants measure approx. 1x2.5" without wings; or 2.25x2.25" with wings, on gold-plated chains.
