Victorian Diamond Snake Brooch

449F
744 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A wonderful lover’s brooch – this piece has all the hidden meanings. The entwined snake is designed in a heart shape and represents ‘Eternal Love’. The pearl symbolises wisdom through experience and is believed to attract wealth and luck as well as to offer protection. As well as symbolising love, excellence and purity the diamonds, because of their unmatched hardness and clarity, represent power, strength, brilliance and unparalleled beauty. Diamond is the birthstone for April and is often used for a sixty-year anniversary. This brooch was made circa 1840.
