About the Item
Dating from the mid-Victorian period, this snake necklace is composed of 18K gold and diamonds. Devouring its own tail, the serpent's chased and engraved head with rose-cut diamond accents and ruby eyes is completed by a body of rounded snake chain composed of s-form links. Soft and warm to the touch, this highly flexible, handmade serpent necklace is fully modern in its streamlined simplicity.

Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes:
Snake chain (also known as "Brazilian" chain), formed of ingeniously connected tubular links, was among the most popular of the mid-19th century, as it was soft, highly flexible, and pleasantly weighted. Its use in the long-enduring fashion for serpents helped bring the jewels to life.
