Victorian 18ct Gold Snake Bracelet set with Turquoise & Rose Diamond Eyes

402W
200 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

This is a great looking heavy gage 18ct gold snake bracelet that was made circa 1860. The sinuous articulated body curves around to the clasp that fits in to the side of the snake’s head. His head has been set with graduated split turquoise beads and he has small rose diamond set eyes. His head has been bright cut engraved as has the heart that is suspended from his open mouth. The heart has a glazed locket on the reverse.
The most common meaning of a snakes in antique jewellery is “Eternity”, which is why Prince Albert created a ring for Queen Victoria in 1840. In other cultures, the snake ring symbolises eternal love, and the Ouroboros, a symbol of time and eternity, is also represented by the snake. The use of the turquoise means “Forget me not” after the blue flower of the same name.
