Victorian Flat Woven Snake Wrap Bracelet
with Ruby Eyes, in 14k Gold
$ 8,000.00
* * SOLD * *



A Victorian-era snake bracelet, created in 14k yellow gold, whose flat-woven body encircles the wearer's wrist three times. This beautiful, woven "tube" imitates the body of a snake in both form and texture. Our snake's head is patterned with realistic scales, and her eyes are set with rubies. She wears a cute snarl, revealing rows of sharp teeth and a tiny forked tongue. A small, pointed cap finishes the bracelet, giving the impression of a whip-like tail. We love the flat woven body, here, as it reads like a more delicate tubogas— we usually see braided bodies, when we see these wonderful old snake bracelets at all. This adorable snake is a treasure! Marked 585 for purity.
