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.

  • Victorian Snake Brooch 18k Yellow Gold
    Located in North Hollywood, CA
    This Victorian snake brooch is just beautiful. It has pink and Blue stones detailed and chased with scroll work completely detailed on the front with a smooth back. I rarely find chased and detailed snake brooch such as this. The brooch is beautiful one of the nicest I have found because most snake brooches are smooth not detailed with chase work. I was going to put this on a chain to wear as a necklace but I decided to leave that up to the next owner. This Victorian Snake Brooch is 4.5cm long by 2.5cm wide and a depth of 1 3/4. This brooch weights 7.2 grams and comes out of Austria. This brooch is stunning if you love snakes as I do do...
