Curiously timeless

Beautiful French Antique 18k gold Sapphire Rose Cut diamond snake brooch

€0

What a stunning little piece of art in front of us! This French origin, Victorian era 18k gold snake brooch features a lively detailed twisted snake body, covered by 24 rose cut diamonds. The head of the snake is equally crafted with precious gemstones: one blue sapphire in the center, illuminated by two diamond accents for his shining eyes. If you turn the piece up, you will even see his sharp teeth and tongue from his mouth. This lifelike creature is a true unique “one-of-a-kind” design, which shows exquisite craftsmanship which gives it a distinctive character that more modern pieces lack. The brooch is dated back to the 19th century, the Victorian era.

Snakes represent fertility or a creative life force. As snakes shed their skin through sloughing, they are symbols of rebirth, transformation, immortality, and healing.

That’s why this brooch also conveys just the right combination of symbolic meaning, strong personality and artistic movement to make it bright, lively and highly collectible.

It can be a wonderful historical piece jewelry to be added into your collection.
