9ct Gold Snake Bangle with Ruby Eyes

164S
40 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A great looking 9ct gold coily snake bangle that was made in Birmingham in 1963 by  Smith and Pepper.  Smith and Pepper was a fine  jewellery manufacturing firm in Birmingham. They opened in 1899 and closed their doors in 1981.  Their premises in Vyne Street are now a museum and are worth visiting. This snake bracelet is a good example of their work.  His head has been finely engraved and his eyes have been set with  cabochon rubies.  His body is on a spring so you can coil him around your wrist.  Snake jewellery has  always been  popular from the Georgian period to the present day as it represents “Eternal love and wisdom”.
