Victorian Scottish Silver & Agate Coiled Snake Brooch

96H
529 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual Victorian Scottish silver and agate brooch in the form of an entwined snake. It is beautifully made with a bloodstone head and small cabochon garnet eyes.The silver has been chased in between the stones. The snake meant “Eternal love” so it most likely would have been a gift from an admirer or a husband.

Ollys Pick

I have never come across a Scottish snake brooch before!
