About Us
SnakeBound transforms the natural process of snake shedding into extraordinary wearable art that celebrates renewal, healing, and personal growth. Founded in 2025 by Joan Colón Santiago, a former real estate broker from Puerto Rico, this innovative jewelry business began with a moment of fascination when her first ball python shed its skin. Each handcrafted piece represents the powerful symbolism of transformation – just as snakes shed their skin to reveal something new, SnakeBound jewelry symbolizes leaving the past behind, overcoming challenges, and embracing new beginnings. Drawing inspiration from Mesoamerican traditions, Greek mythology, and Indigenous beliefs, every piece honors the sacred cycles of death and rebirth while creating completely unique wearable art.
Our Artisan Philosophy
SnakeBound bridges the natural and spiritual worlds through self-taught craftsmanship that honors both ancient symbolism and modern artistry. Each piece is carefully handcrafted using durable foundations of stainless steel, resin, and glass, with naturally shed snake skin placed by hand and shaped by instinct. The result is jewelry that carries deep meaning while maintaining exceptional quality and durability.
