This Victorian snake necklace sends a powerful message with its bold colors and beguiling subject matter. Not to mention that it’s masterpiece of Victorian craftsmanship, design and style, from the bright turquoise cabochons pave set and cleverly referencing iridescent scales, to the handmade gold chain that is supple like a piece of fabric. Victorian era snakes symbolized eternal love and this one quite literally carries that a step further with a turquoise and diamond pave heart suspended from its mouth. Made in 14 karat yellow gold, turquoise, accented with old mine cut diamonds and rubies for eyes. Handmade c.1850.

This necklace is in excellent antique condition and measures 16.0 inches.
