Antique Renaissance Revival Gold Dragon Snake Diamond Emerald Brooch C 1890

About the Item

Superb dragon and snake 18K gold brooch in the Renaissance Revival style from the end of the 19th Century. A particularly grotesque and fearsome mythical winged Dragon fighting with a snake. The symbolism of this brooch is as a talismanic protector against evil represented by the attacking snake embellished with a natural emerald cabochon in its head. A very rare-to-find dragon piece due to the nicely articulated diamond set wings. Very solid, very wearable and exciting, suitable for a man or a woman, especially taking in consideration that 2024 is the year of the dragon- the symbol of power, strength and charm. Fabulous jewel of a fabulous beast.
