• A Kurt Adler Nobel Gems ornament

If this symbol looks familiar to you it should, seeing as how it is used in many medical facilities and organizations. The medical community did make a bit of a boo-boo when choosing this symbol to represent medicine; they confused it with the Rod of Asclepius, the correct symbol of medicine. The Rod of Asclepius is a rod with only one snake and no wings, the Caduceus is the symbol of Hermes with two snakes twining around a staff with wings. The Glass Caduceus Ornament for the Kurt Adler’s Noble Gems collection is synonymous with the United States medical community, it took this symbol to heart starting in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This ornament is perfect for anyone working in the medical profession, it reminds you of healing and caring. Thank you to all the men and women who have worked so hard for patients and families alike!
