What is in the Greek key?

Has anyone noticed the pattern of repeated vertical and horizontal lines in necklaces and bracelets?
This is the Greek key pattern. It is also known as "Meandros" or "Meander" a river which flows in the same pattern and it is located in Asia Minor.

The simplicity and elegance of the Greek key concept has inspired many designers to create jewelry showing that pattern. The Greek key was widespread in other art fields such as architecture.
One can see the Greek Fret ornating the Ancient Greek temples.

Is there a deeper meaning of the Greek key concept? The Greek key symbolizes the flow of life, eternal life, eternal love, and eternal friendship. There is no better way than having your wedding bands ornated with the Greek pattern.
