For sale is a 10k yellow gold snake pendant with garnets and a window locket compartment. This stunning piece was crafted during the Egyptian revival period in the early 1800's, when Europeans and Americans became obsessed with all things from "the Orient."
The snake's body is coiled in an elaborate figure eight pattern, with her head curving up towards the top of the pendant. The snake has glowing red garnet eyes. She also has a larger teardrop garnet set in the back of her head. The garnets are a rich shade of pomegranate red, with lovely glowing translucence in the light. Each garnet has been beautifully faceted by hand. Each garnet is carefully bezel-set with delicate milgrain edging.
*This unusual pendant has a tiny round "bubble" window that you can open and close.*
You can place a small memento or keepsake inside! The pendant was originally a memento mori piece, and the window could hold a tiny lock of your loved one's hair. The pendant has a jump ring bail to accommodate your chain. This beautifully crafted pendant is stunning and so unusual! You will not find one quite like it again!
