9ct Gold Snake Necklace with Ruby Eyes

93P
Written by Olly Gerrish

An attractive snake necklace made in 1964 in Birmingham. In the early 20th century Egyptologist Howard Carter made ancient Egypt fashionable and snake inspired jewellery became really popular. This snake has ruby eyes, an engraved head and a stretchy articulated body. The snake motif in antique jewellery is a recurring design and represents “Eternal love and wisdom”. It has a secure clasp at the back and looks very pretty when worn.
