Pretty Ouroboros Pendant that I converted from a Georgian Lace Pin.
 
Modelled in high carat gold (around 15 carat) the ouroboros snake coils in an oval, tail in mouth, framing the central dendritic agate stone.
The border of the stone is decorated with a gold rope twist wire, finely scalloped around the edge, and accented with gold dots.
 
The snake has one tiny garnet eye. a finely cross hatched body, and a little beaky mouth.
