The snake motif has been utilized in jewelry since the Ancients. Long considered as a symbol of royalty and wisdom, it has been documented that Cleopatra was famous for her snake jewelry. Later, the design was popularized during the Victorian Era when Prince Albert famously presented Queen Victoria with an engagement ring in the form of a snake. Representing eternal love, that ring caused a sensation, and snake jewelry has been a fashion statement ever since.
This golden snake is ready to slither from the biblical apple tree right onto your outstretched hand! Made of 14 karat gold, it has realistically textured scales on its head and two of the three coils. The head looks up so he can be sure your are listening to his urgent whispers, and the tail has two little tendrils that could be utilized as bales to hang a tiny charm or two. A wonderfully exotic and alluring piece, sure to become your favorite!
