Details
Dating to the 1910s, this Edwardian brooch reimagines the age-old serpent motif as a study in movement and color. Two gold snake heads, their eyes set with tiny round rubies, meet nose to nose above a single lustrous pearl cradled in a finely scaled gold collar. Their outstretched wings sweep outward in a dramatic silhouette, densely pavé-set with forty-six round demantoid garnets whose saturated, slightly acid-green fire is the hallmark of the finest material of the era. Worked in 14k yellow gold with platinum-topped wings for a crisp white setting that lets the garnets read pure and bright, the piece carries the coded romanticism the Edwardian era prized in serpent jewelry, long a symbol of eternity and devotion. At 2 1/8 inches across and 11.85 grams, it wears with real substance without feeling heavy. A rare and painterly period piece for a collector who wants color with pedigree.
