14k Yellow Gold SNAKE Pendant w Emerald Eyes & Amethyst Egg

For sale is a 14k yellow gold snake pendant with emerald eyes, coiled around an amethyst "egg". I asked my jeweler to convert this pendant from an antique pin from the Egyptian revival period in the early 1800's, when Europeans and Americans became obsessed with all things from "the Orient."  This mama snake is coiled up, protecting her new egg.  Mama snake is cute, not a scary, threatening fanged cobra-type snake.  The snake has glowing green emerald eyes that are bezel set.  Her mouth is open as she warns potential predators away from her precious amethyst egg.  Her body encircles the amethyst, and her tail curves up towards her head. The amethyst is a pale shade of lavender, set high in claw prongs.  The pendant has an articulated bail to accommodate your chain.  Draw attention to this lovely bejeweled snake by wearing the pendant alone, or combine it with other pendants for a layered look.

The item shows normal wear for a pre-owned piece (light scratches, dings, dents and scuff marks.)
