Edwardian 15ct Gold, Turquoise & Natural Split Pearl Caduceus Brooch

337 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

The caduceus is the traditional symbol of Hermes and features two snakes winding around an often winged staff. The two-snake caduceus design has ancient and consistent associations with trade, eloquence, trickery and negotiation. Association of the caduceus with medicine has occurred through the ages, where it was sometimes associated with alchemy and wisdom. This 15ct gold brooch is a lovely example set with natural half drilled and split pearls and turquoise.
