A miniature work of art by Tiffany & Co, this exquisitely crafted stick pin features a sinuous snake set with vibrant apple green demantoid garnets, slithering up the side of a glowing opal orb. The sly creature is brought to life with hand engraved scales, a testament to meticulous craftsmanship. The back is fitted with a keeper pin, a thoughtful addition to prevent the piece from rotating or slipping when worn. A rare and wonderful treasure, circa 1900
