The ouroboros is an ancient symbol of a serpent eating its own tail, often read as introspection, the eternal return, and the endless cycle of creation and destruction, life and death. In a Norse setting the image naturally calls to mind Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent that encircles the world biting its own tail — a kindred idea, though not the same symbol. The runes here are Elder Futhark, the oldest runic alphabet. Find more coiled designs in our serpent jewelry collection, or dig deeper into Norse symbols in the Symbol Library.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

What runes are on this ouroboros ring?
The band is inscribed with large Elder Futhark runes — the oldest runic alphabet, used in Scandinavia and the wider Germanic world from roughly the 2nd to the 8th century, before the younger runes of the Viking Age.
What does the ouroboros symbolize?
The ouroboros is an ancient symbol of a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. It stands for introspection, the eternal return and cyclicality, and the infinite cycle of nature's creation and destruction — life and death re-creating each other.
Is the ouroboros the same as Jörmungandr?
Not quite. The ouroboros is a widespread ancient symbol, while Jörmungandr is the Norse Midgard Serpent that encircles the world biting its own tail. The images echo each other, which is why an ouroboros feels at home in Viking jewelry, but they are distinct symbols.
How is this different from your other silver serpent wrap ring?
Both are wrap-style serpent rings, but this one carries a bold Elder Futhark runic inscription along the band. Its sibling is covered in Norse knotwork ornament and has no runes.
What sizes are available, and how heavy is the ring?
US 7–15 plus any custom size, including half and quarter sizes — every ring is made to order, usually within 5–7 working days. It weighs approx. 7–8 g depending on size, a lighter, slimmer ring than our chunky signet styles.
