Victorian 15ct Gold Snake Earrings set with Rubies

620W
23 Admirers

Snakes are always popular and these little fellas are pretty special. They each coil alluringly around a claw set ruby and their bodies have been worked all over in an engraved pattern. They were made circa 1860-1880. The snake motif in antique jewellery represents “Eternal love and wisdom” and the ruby further underlines the sentiment as it stands for “Passion”, so these 15ct gold earrings would make a perfect gift to someone that you love.
