Description from the seller
A remarkable Victorian-era snake necklace, finely crafted in 20K yellow gold, symbolizing eternity, wisdom, and protection—a motif highly popular during the 19th century. The intricately designed serpent body features detailed engraved scales, giving it a lifelike appearance.
The snake’s head is adorned with emerald-set eyes, enhancing its captivating expression. A large cabochon garnet is nestled in the serpent’s mouth, while a second garnet drop suspends elegantly below, adding depth and movement to the design. The necklace is designed to coil naturally around the neck, embodying the fluidity and elegance of Victorian craftsmanship.
The hidden clasp is seamlessly integrated into the design, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.
