9ct Gold Snake Bangle with Ruby Eyes by Smith & Pepper

368T
360 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A great looking 9ct gold coily snake bangle that was made in Birmingham in 1970 by Smith and Pepper. Smith and Pepper was a fine jewellery manufacturing firm in Birmingham. They opened in 1899 and closed their doors in 1981. Their premises in Vyne Street are now a museum and are worth visiting. This snake bracelet is a good example of their work. His head has been finely engraved and his eyes have been set with rubies. His body is on a spring so you can coil him around your wrist. Snake jewellery has always been popular from the Georgian period to the present day as it represents “Eternal love and wisdom”.
