About the Item
A rare antique Victorian - Art Nouveau Opal Snake Pendant depicting two snakes or serpents wrapped around each other in a dramatic 3 inch length. Each snake is set with a stunning round Opal cabochon with wonderful blue, green and yellow colors. The snake in 10-12 Karat Gold with wonderful details throughout the heads and a stunning sinuous Art Nouveau - Victorian design. The snake pendant dates to circa 1850-1900. It is extremely rare to find these early snake jewels, and particularly set with Opals - and we are so excited when we do!
And snake jewelry is all the rage today. In the Victorian era the snake was the symbol of eternal love. It has come to symbolize sexuality, rebirth and wisdom.
The pendant is 3 1/8 inch (8cm) long including the bales. Without the bales the snake is 75mm long and 15mm wide.
The snake is 10-12 Karat Gold.
The pendant weighs 2.1 grams.
The listing is only for the snake pendant. The chain is only shown for display.
There is some minimal denting at the top of the pendant.
