Oroboro X – Serpenti

Commanding and sculptural, Oroboro X is the boldest evolution of Viktor Alexander’s gemstone bracelets. At its centre is an animal, the Dragon, Horse, Tiger or Serpent among them, sculpted in gleaming metal with ruby eyes. More than ornaments, they are talismans of strength, spirit, resilience and transformation, chosen to reflect the person who wears them.

Alongside them run natural gemstone beads selected by hand: the depth of lapis lazuli, the regal bands of malachite, the richness of black jadeite, the strength of haematite. Each stone brings colour and character. Strung on an elastic or wire strand for a tailored, durable fit, Oroboro X can be worn alone or stacked, always in the maison’s unmistakable style.

Lapis lazuli is a regal deep blue stone flecked with golden pyrite, prized since antiquity for its colour and its history. Favoured by the pharaohs and by the painters of the Renaissance, it symbolises wisdom, truth and spiritual insight, and its celestial colour and natural shimmer make it a captivating choice for a bold, meaningful bracelet.

Malachite is a striking green stone known for its swirling bands and deep, velvety colour. Prized since antiquity, it has long been associated with protection and transformation, and its bold patterns make it a natural statement in fine jewellery.

Burmese jadeite, from the legendary mines of Myanmar, is the finest and most coveted jade. Known for its translucency, smooth texture and vivid colour, above all the prized imperial green, it has been treasured for generations as a symbol of purity, prosperity and long life.

Tiger’s eye is a golden-brown stone with a silky, shifting shimmer, long associated with confidence, focus and protection. It is mined chiefly in South Africa, notably the Northern Cape, with deposits also in Western Australia, Namibia, India, Brazil and the United States. Durable and striking, it has been valued in jewellery for centuries as a stone of strength and prosperity.
