The Victorian era cultivated the upsurge of serpent jewelry after Prince Albert proposed to Queen Victoria with a snake ring. For Victoria, the snake was a beautiful symbol of eternal love.
This late Victorian serpent is extra charming. With an intricately hand engraved head embellished with graduated turquoise cabochons and rose cut diamonds, this sly guy dangles a tiny turquoise heart from his mouth. Expertly hand-fabricated in 18K yellow gold, the articulated snake body terminates at the tip of the tail where it secures in a hidden box clasp closure. Ready for a proper presentation in a fitted box. Truly an exceptional example.
Metal: 18 karat yellow gold
Length: 16 3/4”
Turquoise: 36 cabochons
Rose cut diamonds: .05 carat each
Weight: 29.6 grams
