Victorian Gold, Sterling Silver, Diamond, and Demantoid Garnet Serpent Pin
About the Item
A very finely made and visually intriguing antique Victorian serpent pin, depicting a snake encircling a crescent moon shape. The snake is composed of 18 karat yellow gold and demantoid garnets, while the crescent shape is composed of sterling silver and old-mine cut diamonds. The pin mechanism itself is silver.
Serpent have been a recurring motif of jewelry since the very earliest ancient societies have existed, and were in particular vogue during the era of Egyptian Revival after the discovery of the tomb of King Tutankhamun in 1922, and shortly before during the Victorian era of the late 20th century. This pin was created in the Victorian period.
