Victorian Double Snake Pearl & Diamond Brooch | 9ct Gold | Antique Rose Cut Diamonds | c.1880
£395.00
A charming and symbolic Victorian double snake brooch dating to the late 19th century, beautifully crafted in solid 9ct gold.
Two graceful serpents entwine around a luminous central pearl, their bodies set with sparkling antique rose-cut diamonds and tiny red gemstone eyes. Delicate and elegant, the design carries a romantic symbolism deeply cherished during the Victorian era.
Following Queen Victoria’s engagement ring in the form of a serpent, snake jewellery became a symbol of eternal love, loyalty, wisdom, and everlasting devotion. This lovely brooch is a beautiful example of that sentiment, combining fine craftsmanship with timeless symbolism.
The central pearl displays a soft, creamy lustre and is beautifully framed by the diamond-set serpents. Under light, the antique rose-cut diamonds emit a gentle and captivating sparkle.
Professionally tested and quality guaranteed.
