Really special georgian coiled snake pendant.
Modelled in high carat gold and set with natural, finely matched and graded pearls in pinched collet settings.
The snake coils round in a circle, his ruby eyes gently watching, his nose touching his tail (rather than actually eating his tail like the ouroboros) his body creating a loop that frames a beautiful landscape (dendritic) agate scene.
