About
We all know the Victorians loved their slithery creatures, and this little beast doesn't disappoint. There's something other-worldly about the color of great quality demantoid garnets - a deep and rich acid green - and this line of stones really stands out from the crowd. The larger stones inhabit the body, while smaller demantoids populate the legs and cabochon rubies serve as the creature's eyes. Take a look at the back of the jewel: there's beautiful carving into the back of the gem to allow as much light as possible to refract out and let the gems shine. Of course, the silver top, yellow gold back of the mount adds to the allure. The critter measures 2 1/4 " in length and he packs a visual wallop of color and quality. It's difficult these days - pretty much impossible, actually - to assemble a line of demantoid garnets like this. We are particularly enamored of his little toes- aren't they cute?
