Really chunky snake head and tail, I guess from a bracelet, that I have had for ages waiting for the right snake chain which never came.
So I made him into a pendant.
He weighs 19g and is pave set with turquoise all over his fat head and tail, his neck made from high carat gold engraved with scales, the underside also made from a high carat gold with small glass locket compartment.
His eyes are small cabochon rubies.
 
weighs - 19g
measures - 55mm x 18mm
English circa 1860
Condition - good antique condition, couple of dings on the underside
