About the Item

This beautiful antique creation of the Victorian era is a serpent bracelet dating from the mid-to-late 19th century - the snake is artfully created in yellow gold and set with ruby eyes and the serpent head is inlaid with old cut diamonds. It is a light hollow hinged bangle bracelet. The head and tail of this reptile have an ornate floral design while the rest of the gold is structured which resembles the scales of the snake. The bangle is slightly oval shaped with a side hinge, there is a small movement in the hinge. The serpent symbol enjoyed a massive resurgence in popularity during the Victorian era (1837-1901). Queen Victoria, the ultimate trend-setter, favored serpent jewelry, which came to symbolize wisdom and eternal love during this period.
