VICTORIAN SNAKE BRACELET BANGLE TURQUOISE
Classic antique Victorian bangle bracelet in the form of a snake coiled around itself and set with genuine turquoise gem stones. Probably made 1840's. <P><P>
Approximately 2 1/2 inches accross at widest point. Slightly less from the inside. <P><P>
Snake set in low grade gold, which also lines the inside and covers the head. A forked tongue protrudes from the mouth. The eyes are red stones, believed to
be garnets. A hinge and a pin clasp make putting it on/taking it off easy. The tapering body, winding around itself in classic Victorian symbolic style (the
snake was a symbol of eternal love to the Victorians) is covered with cabochon turquoise stones. There are 3 rows of stones, the largest in the middle.
Amazingly, none of the stones is missing. <P><P>
Despite it's age, the bangle is in good condition.

The two arcs of ivory tusk are joined by very heavy, solid silver hinge on one side with a clasp closed with a very heavy pin on the other. No hallmarks but certainly silver. The ivory has a wonderful golden patina. Clear signs of great age, but no damage. Looks fabulous on the arm - a unique fashion statement.
