Inspired by the “ouroboros” – an ancient symbol depicting a serpent eating its own tail – the Full Circle bracelet from William Henry is not an understatement.

Each piece is highlighted by a pair of luminous red topaz eyes and a series of pinned and laser-welded rattles for a one-of-a-kind tail mechanism. $1250
