An exceptional antique snake bracelet, crafted in 18ct gold and dating to circa 1900. The articulated gold body is finely modelled with textured scale detailing, allowing the bracelet to sit fluidly and comfortably on the wrist.
The serpent’s head is set with a rich Ceylon sapphire, prized for its depth of colour and natural brilliance, and accented with small diamond-set eyes that add a subtle flash of light. The snake motif, symbolic of eternity, protection, and rebirth, was particularly favoured in late 19th- and early 20th-century jewellery.
A striking and highly collectible piece of antique jewellery, combining craftsmanship, symbolism, and timeless elegance.
