Antique Victorian Snake Necklace Gold & Blue EnamelA wonderful gold snake necklace, this necklace was handmade in the late Victorian period. Snakes have slithered through jewellery history since ancient times. They reached their peak of popularity, however, in the Victorian era. Queen Victoria loved serpentine jewels. Arguably, she had even more power to shape trends than Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle do today. Set with wonderful pearls, not tested but probably natural, and a synthetic ruby.
