An antique early Victorian era pendant made in 10 karat rose gold, 10 karat yellow gold, and silver. The pendant features a beautiful snake that wraps around in a circle with an old mine cut diamond hanging from the mouth of the snake. The snake’s body is covered in petite old cut diamonds, providing lots of sparkle and shine, and its eyes are accented with rubies for the perfect pop of color. Snakes are a symbol of eternity and were very a popular Victorian motif, which is perfectly in step with the era, circa 1840s-1870s.  A chic antique pendant, this is the kind of piece you'll never want to take off.
