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 sensual, undulating snake has twisted himself into quite the coil! Made of smooth, sleek sterling silver, he has two deep red garnet cabochon eyes winking out at his intended! Rather than a pin on the back, he has a bar than enables the wearer to thread a ribbon or scarf, or even a belt through, as well as a small clip to help keep things in place. He's the perfect piece for any savvy snake charmer out there!
