Very elegant Victorian 14K yellow gold stickpin fashioned as a snake coiled around a natural pearl. The snake’s body is set with fifteen bead-set mixed-cut rubies and its head is enhanced with a small old mine-cut diamond in an unusual ridged silver setting. In Victorian symbology, the snake represented eternity and was a popular motif in jewelry—especially pieces intended to signify eternal love. Tested and guaranteed 14K gold. Origin: America, ca. 1890. Condition: excellent. Size: head, 7/16” x 5/16”; overall length, 2-5/16”. Weight: 1.0 gram. |
