A good looking pair of 9ct gold snake earrings with ruby eyes that were made by Cropp & Farr in Birmingham in 1968. Cropp & Farr were a well known company who operated from Hatton Garden. In the 1947 Olympia fair British Industries Fair they were listed as “Manufacturers of Fine Quality Inexpensive Gem-Set Jewellery, Specialising in Coloured Stones and Diamonds. Aquamarines, Topaz, Zircons, etc also Gold Jewellery, Signets, Sporting Brooches, Charms, Cuff-Links and Gents’ Dress Sets”. Their pieces are always well made and wearable as with these earrings
