Antique Victorian Garnet Snake Necklace In Yellow Gold

A stunning Victorian garnet snake necklace set in yellow gold. The necklace features a snake motif with hand-engraved detailing all around. Its head is set with a large garnet with two small garnets as its eyes. A gold locket elegantly hangs from its mouth, with another garnet on the top and a locket on the back. The garnets are securely set in bezel settings and perfectly match in colour. The body of the snake functions as articulated links, allowing the necklace to sit and flow nicely on the neck, making it incredibly comfortable to wear. Lastly, this piece is accompanied by a fitted velvet box, as well as a valuation for insurance and authenticity.
