Antique 18k Double Snake Bangle c. 1880
Antique 18k Double Snake Bangle c. 1880
Crafted during the late 19th Century in France, this exquisite Victorian double snake bangle is made from 18-karat yellow gold. Two sinuous serpents elegantly coil around your wrist, their eyes encrusted with captivating rose-cut diamonds and amethyst cabochons, creating a romantic and timeless piece of antique jewelry.
One of the primary meanings associated with Victorian snake rings was eternal love and commitment. Queen Victoria's engagement ring, a serpent with an emerald-set head given to her by Prince Albert in 1839, symbolized everlasting love. They were sometimes set with birthstones or gems with specific symbolic meanings to convey sentiments. Victorian snake jewelry is still highly sought after by collectors and jewelry enthusiasts for their craftsmanship, beauty, and rich symbolism, serving as a testament to the romantic and sentimental nature of the era.
CONDITIONS NOTES:
The bangle open and closes well with a secure box clasp closure. Look closely as there is light denting to the bracelet, visible in photos and the video, but nothing to take away from the charm of the piece. The bracelet is recommended for a small-medium sized wrist. For reference, the bracelet is a little small on my 6.25" wrist.
