Victorian Gem Set Enamelled Snake Earrings
About the Item
Here we have a pair of antique drop earrings from the Victorian era. Each earring has been crafted into the shape of a coiled serpent with engraved eyes, old cut diamond set head and enamelled body and tail.
Snake jewellery peaked in popularity when Queen Victoria opted for a gold snake design set with rubies, diamonds and an emerald for her engagement ring; a particularly unusual style. As time wore on, snake jewellery and other Ancient Egypt inspired pieces (such as insect jewellery) came into fashion due to influences on Britain from the excavation of Tutankhamun’s tomb.
