Antique Ruby, Bloodstone, Carnelian, Moss Agate 14K Yellow Gold Snake Bracelet

About the Item

Fine antique ruby, bloodstone, carnelian, agate 14K yellow gold snake bracelet 19th Century This exquisite snake bracelet features scales of striking, exotic agates- moss, banded, blue lace together with carnelian, red jasper and bloodstone, set in finely engraved foliate gold setting. The eyes of the snake are cabochon rubies. Snake bracelets are one of the oldest forms of animal jewelry, dating to the 8th century BCE. They are associated with healing which has evolved into the Caduceus symbol of modern medicine. The ancient Egyptians were especially fond of snake bracelets, envoked for protection in the name of Nehebkau, the magical serpent and companon of Ra, the Sun god. The 19th century saw a resurgence of the snake bracelet in Archaelogical Revival jewelry, which became a symbol of sophistication in the upper eschelons of society. The trend continues today with the beautiful, sinuous snake taken up by Bulgari as their muse.
