"Jewelry With Significance"

(Adding more rings soon.)

The Staff of Asclepius
Gold Serpent Ring

Although this ring could be worn for any occasion, I designed it to be my wedding ring and am wearing it as I type. However, due to the reaction and number of people who commented on this ring, I decided to include it in the collection. It is solid 14K gold with two serpents coiled in opposite directions around the ring as if it were a circular staff. The serpents meet with their heads side-by-side and eye-to-eye. While carving this ring, I thought of my wife, so made one serpent smaller since I am larger than my wife. It is an excellent gift for a graduating doctor, a doctor's wedding gift, or medical student's graduation.

This ring has exquisite detail and took several months to finish. As with all of my jewelry, I encourage people to look at the pieces with a loop or some type of magnification to see the intricate details (e.g., the serpent eyes) that took hundreds of hours to make.

Symbol Of Medicine Terms

 

Terms referring to the ancient mythical god of medicine have been spelled numerous different ways over the past 2,500 years. I use different spellings to help Google. The terms Asclepius, Aesculapius, and Asklepios all refer to the same god of medicine during various Greek or Roman times. The serpent entwined around a staff or rod is the second part of this symbol of medicine. Another symbol of medicine occasionally used is the Caduceus which is also spelled Caducius.

 About Us
 

This company was founded by me over 40 years ago when I was a medical student. After a couple of residencies, a fellowship, and ten years spent as a land developer inserted between residencies, I now work part-time as an Emergency Medicine doctor and make jewelry as a hobby. My wife and I live in Key West with our tiny red poodle named Red Corpuscle. My lovely bride runs the company while I make the jewelry on my days off.

 ...carpe diem.
