Victorian Serpent Bangle: A Circle of Mystique and Grace

Esteemed from the Late-Victorian to Belle Epoque era, circa 1880, this antique snake bangle elegantly captures the essence of both styles. Originating from Belgium, it embodies the whimsicality and romance of the period. The bangle is meticulously crafted in 18K yellow gold, featuring twelve rose-cut diamonds and two vibrant rubies. The serpent motif, a potent symbol across various cultures, here possibly conveys dual meanings of protection and temptation, reflecting both the alluring and ambivalent nature of its mythological significance.
