Georgian Revival Diamond & Emerald Snake Bangle
Serpent jewelry has an allure that transcends trends and time. Their endless, circular nature, along with their periodic skin-shedding renewal, makes them a natural representation of eternity and transformation. This powerful symbolism is beautifully conveyed in this gorgeous Georgian Revival bangle.
Handmade in blush gold and topped with silver, this snake's scales glisten with rose-cut diamonds set within carved zig-zagging lines adorned with the finest milgrain beading. The pattern creates a mesmerizing serpentine texture that brings the snake to life while a raised ridge of glowing green emeralds streams atop its back, beautifully defining and highlighting its sensually curved form. The gems' rich green hue is beautifully complemented by their warm gold setting, and perfectly contrasts the antique silver patina throughout its scales.
The snake organically wraps around the wrist with refined elegance, it's head and tail looped around one another with sculptural grace, adding incredible dimension to this remarkable piece. Its striking eyes and head are crowned with bezel-set emeralds and adorned with raised diamond-studded scales, completing this magnificent bangle with outstanding detail.
This rare Georgian Revival bangle is an extraordinary example of antique snake jewelry. Its craftsmanship, artfully sculpted design, exquisite gems, superb detailing, and elegant fit come together to make it an absolute treasure worth coveting for the eternity it so beautifully represents!
