Jewel of the Month
This month we are celebrating this exceptional French antique snake bracelet, circa 1880.
The snake is a motif that has been an enduring symbol in jewellery for centuries. After Prince Albert gifted Queen Victoria a snake ring to symbolise their engagement there was a surge in popularity and this jewel, created during this era is a testament to the finest craftsmanship of the period, it is an exceptional example of its genre.
