The head is further ornamented with an impressive claw set heart shaped garnet to the crown, above two Old European cut diamonds, collet set to represent the snake's eyes. A feature claw set cabochon cut garnet suspends from a ring loop to the snake's open mouth, set to the center of a pear shaped design. The body of the snake is represented by a graduated snake chain, by which means the necklace is worn around the neck.
