A really attractive and easy to wear pair of vintage 9 carat gold snake earrings.
 
Modelled from a rosey yellow gold the snakes each coil round to form a hoop, the pair symmetrical. 
The top part of the earrings are finely engraved with scales. These are sold gold and not puffy, hollow gold.
 
English circa 1960 
the pair weigh 4.9g
measure - 24mm x 18mm
 
These were formerly screw on earrings, so I had them altered. They come with silicone backs.
