Antique Brooch Gold Eternity Symbol Stylized Snakes Pebble

About the Item

This highly unusual piece of jewellery in the shape of a gold mounted pebble was made in the mid 19th century. The gold decoration in the shape of two snakes entwined to form an infinity symbol is quite out of the ordinary. Maybe the brooch was made as a souvenir from a journey to an exotic non European destination.
