About the Item

A vintage tubogas snake collar necklace in 18 karat yellow gold by Brevettato, circa 1940. Crafted by the Italian jewellery maker Brevettato this gold gaspipe or tubogas collar necklace in 18 karat yellow gold features a snake head with repoussé detail and ruby set eyes, on a flexible tubogas body which coils around the neck of the wearer. The collar is finished with a secure fastening to its reverse with an additional safety clasp. Signed 'Brevettato' The snake motif has been used in jewellery throughout history: To Ancient Egyptians snakes were a symbol of royalty or deity. Whereas in Chinese mythology, the snake is seen as a symbol of reproduction and good luck. Most recently to the Victorians the snake is seen as a symbol of eternal love; This originates from when Prince Albert proposed to Queen Victoria with a continuous snake ring, set with her birth stone, emerald - and thus the trend was re-ignited. Dimensions: 16 inches in length The collar necklace is accompanied by a complimentary valuation for insurance. Overall the condition of the collar necklace is very good with some abrasions to the surface of the gold, in keeping with its general age.
