Lilith and the Tree Necklace opal Snakes have long been symbolicThis necklace is inspired by the story of Eve and the tree of Knowledge. Eve was said to be tempted by a snake who spoke to her and so she was seduced into biting from the fruit of the tree when she knew it was forbidden. But snakes don't usually talk.
