About the Item
Dating from the 1840s-1850s, the snake bangle bracelet is composed of gold, enamel and diamonds. It is designed as two intertwined red basse taille enamel snakes, heads and bodies with old mine-cut diamonds and emerald cabochon eyes. Enlivened by sparkling diamonds set in patinated silver-topped 18K gold and lively red enamel, these embracing snakes symbolize the message of love that they have represented since ancient times.

Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes:
Queen Victoria's double headed snake bracelet, immortalized in a sketch by the court painter Sir David Wilke, touched off a widespread and inter-generational craze for serpents in bracelets, rings and necklaces. The beautiful Queen Alexandra, Edward VII's wife, appeared for a well-known royal portrait with serpent bracelets on both arms.
