$24,000.00
SOLD
A special and classic "Ouroboros" Victorian snake bracelet. Ouroboros is Greek and refers to a "snake devouring its tail." This motif is a popular one in Victorian jewelry, and would signify everlasting love or infinite love. It is also a symbol or wholeness and infinity. This bracelet is clearly quite a literal example of the snake biting its tail, as the clasp literally goes into the snakes mouth. The head of the snake is set with old mine cut diamonds, and ruby eyes. 45 Old cut diamonds are set in the head weighing approximately 1.75 cts. The snake itself is 18k gold and a brilliant royal blue enamel. This is a beautiful example of Victorian snake jewelry, one that is refined and simple yet stunning.
