Skull & Serpent Talismans in Solid Gold for Transformation
Spring brings with it an unmistakable energy—the invitation to awaken, release, and begin again. The days stretch longer, the light lingers, and everything around us begins to bloom. It’s a season of transformation, of shedding what no longer serves, and of stepping into who we are becoming.
That spirit lives at the heart of the newest additions to the Delphine Leymarie collection: the Facette Emerald Skull and the Boheme Serpent Talismans. Crafted in solid gold and charged with meaning, I hand-sculpted these pieces to help you honor your journey, anchor your truth, and wear your evolution with intention.
The Facette Emerald Skull: A Talisman of Impermanence and Insight
Skulls have long been sacred symbols across cultures—emblems not of darkness, but of transformation, remembrance, and the power of living fully. In the Delphine Leymarie world, the skull is a call to honor the past, be present in the now, and embrace the future with intention.
This newest skull is part of the Facette series, hand-carved in wax by me before being cast in solid recycled or Fairmined gold. Its faceted surface mirrors the complexity of life—its light and shadows—and its form feels both ancient and modern.
What makes this version especially powerful are its eyes: two vivid emerald cabochons, glowing with heart-centered energy.
Emerald, the stone of growth and abundance, is also closely tied to the heart chakra. It encourages clarity, compassion, and love—making this talisman not only a reminder of impermanence, but a celebration of what’s possible when we live fully from the heart.
You can choose the Facette Emerald Skull as a ring, bold and grounding on the hand, or as a charm—worn close to the heart, layered into your personal story of symbols.
Style Tip: Pair the Skull charm with simpler gold chains to let it shine, or amplify your look with our one-of-a-kind Emerald bead chain.
Mix it into a layered look with other meaningful talismans—like the ankh for eternal love or the moon-phase inspired Petite Confetti Lune chain for embracing life’s phases.
The Boheme Serpent: A Symbol of Renewal, Wisdom, and Protection
If the skull reminds us that life is precious, the serpent reminds us that change is sacred.
Across myth and time, snakes have represented everything from healing and regeneration to divine feminine energy and cosmic wisdom. In my Boheme collection, the serpent slithers in with grace—coiled just enough to protect, yet open enough to evolve.
The Boheme Snake Ring is sculpted to flow naturally around the finger—a grounding talisman that serves as both armor and adornment. She is a solid gold whisper reminding you to trust your path and embrace your growth. Her diamond eyes see beyond illusion. The diamond in her mouth carries your light forward.
The symbolism goes deeper still. In this series, turquoise may be added—a gem long associated with protection and communication. Like clear skies and longer days, it encourages honest expression and a calm sense of purpose. When paired with the serpent, it’s a gentle reminder to speak your truth while shedding what no longer fits.
And the new Boheme Serpent Earrings offer even more ways to express your story: wear them solo for a minimal look, or clip on charms like the unicorn horn, hamsa, or lotus to create a layered, powerful ear story.
Style Tip: These earrings were designed for play—layer them with other charms talismans or let them make a solo statement.
The ring stacks beautifully with the Facette Skull Ring, for a story of transformation both internal and external.
Together, a Powerful Pairing
Worn separately, each talisman carries its own charge. Worn together, they create a magnetic balance—head and body, remembrance and rebirth, truth and transformation.
The skull speaks to what has shaped you.
The serpent guides your next chapter.
The pairing of diamond, emerald and turquoise—white for clarity, green for growth, blue for clarity—invites alignment between heart and voice. A reminder to listen inward, express outward, and move through change with courage.
Crafted with Intention in NYC
Each piece is hand-carved in wax by me, then cast in solid gold using the ancient lost wax method—a process that allows for fluid, organic shapes and rich symbolic detail. Once cast in solid 18k gold—recycled or Fairmined—each talisman is finished in my Manhattan studio with care and reverence.
It’s a conscious process from start to finish. Because how your talisman is made matters too.
At Delphine Leymarie, jewelry is more than adornment. It’s a tool of empowerment—a sacred object you can wear close, charged with intention, designed to support you as you evolve.
Your Journey, in Symbols
You don’t need to wait for the perfect moment to transform.
Sometimes, it begins with a whisper—a knowing. Sometimes, all it takes is a single symbol worn close to the skin to remind you who you are and who you are becoming.
Let your talismans meet you there.
Let them be your guides.
