Details
A gold snake's head set with a large, glossy pear-shaped garnet cabochon, a deep wine-red that is almost black in the shadows, sits at the front of this necklace, its neck wrapped in finely chased, feathered scales and its tiny garnet eyes glinting. Below it, a smaller oval garnet cabochon hangs from a gold cap, swinging freely at the center of the chest. The four cabochon cut garnets, smooth and domed rather than faceted, glow with the soft, deep color Victorian jewelers loved, and the rich, saturated yellow of 20k gold, a higher karat than most jewelry today, deepens the effect. Crafted in 20k yellow gold, the necklace measures 14.5 inches in length and weighs 15.21 grams, sitting close at the base of the neck. Circa 1900, it suits someone who loves dramatic, symbolic Victorian jewelry and wants a necklace with real character and color.
