Victorian 15ct Gold Snake Necklace set with Rock Crystal with Emerald Eyes

752U
Written by Olly Gerrish

A good 15ct gold snake necklace that was made circa 1860-1880. The chain is articulated like a snake’s body and the clasp enters the side of the snake’s mouth. The snake’s head has been applied with gold scrolls with an etched background. It has been claw set with five graduated rock crystals for the eyes and three emeralds with rubies in between.
Most Victorian jewellery is full of hidden meanings. In the Victorian era it became very fashionable to wear snake jewellery after Prince Albert proposed to Queen Victoria with the very first engagement ring, which was in the image of a snake with an emerald set head.

The snake is an emblem of “Eternal love” so what a wonderful gift to someone you adore.
