A captivating Victorian snake brooch steeped in symbolism and craftsmanship. The coiled serpent, an iconic motif of the era, represents eternity, wisdom, and protection—qualities deeply cherished in Victorian jewellery design. The snake's head features old cut diamonds for eyes, while a lustrous old cut diamond and cabochon emerald drop nestles between its fangs. The gold displays a beautiful satin finish in excellent condition, showcasing the meticulous artistry of the period. A striking piece that merges Victorian romance with the serpent's timeless mystique.
