Antique French Diamond Ouroboros Snake Bracelet G. Confalonieri

A striking and seldom-seen French made diamond ouroboros bracelet, commissioned by the Italian jeweler G. Confalonieri. This antique treasure is designed as a supple slinky serpent that wraps around your wrist in the ancient ouroboros motif, its continuous loop echoing the ancient symbol of eternity, renewal, and the ever-turning cycle of life.

Expertly crafted in a Parisian workshop of the period, the bracelet moves with a liquid ease, each segment meticulously engineered to create that signature silky drape beloved by connoisseurs of early 20th-century French workmanship. The serpent’s sinuous body glitters with approximately 7.46 carats of old mixed cut diamonds, each diamond bead-set in pave panels that shimmer with antique charm. The head contains a cleverly concealed hidden box clasp closure. A rarity of its era, this Confalonieri commission seamlessly marries the sculptural elegance of Italian design with the impeccable craftsmanship of the Parisian workshops, an everlasting serpent exquisitely articulated in diamonds.
