Snake Cuff Serpent Bracelet Opal Cabochon Ruby Silver Open Bangle
Designer: J DAUPHIN
The Snake Cuff is handcrafted in sterling silver as a single serpent that wraps the wrist. The body is a fine open band, slightly oxidised along the length, opening at the front where the head and the tapering tail pass each other. The head is set with a round opal cabochon and small ruby eyes, with engraved detail along the snout and tail.
The serpent is the symbol of transformation, renewal, and protection, the snake that sheds its skin to begin again. Opal is the stone of intuition and inner sight, valued for its shifting play of colour. The ruby eyes stand for vital force and watchfulness.
