A spectacular Victorian-style serpent bracelet inspired by one of the most meaningful and fashionable jewelry motifs of the Victorian era. The flexible goldtone body coils dramatically around the wrist, its individually articulated scale-like links creating wonderful texture and movement. A sculptural snake head with an open mouth and red cabochon glass eyes completes the design.
Snake jewelry became especially fashionable during the Victorian period, when serpents were worn not simply for their beauty but for their symbolism. The snake represented eternal love and wisdom, while serpents were also regarded as powerful symbols of protection—the bodyguards of the ancient world. Their ability to shed their skin further connected them with renewal, transformation and rebirth.
Queen Victoria helped popularize serpent jewelry in the 19th century, and the motif became closely associated with Victorian romantic and sentimental jewelry. From bracelets wrapped around the wrist to rings and necklaces, the serpent became an enduring symbol of a love without end.
