Description

DATE: Antique, c.1890

A striking pair of antique earrings, modelled as super cool coiled snakes. The bodies coil around themselves, leading to the emerald set "brains" (0.37ct each) that are finished with fine gold detailing- skin, eyes and mouth. They modelled in buttery 14 karat (heavy duty hollow) gold, making them a light and comfortable wear in the ear. They feature gold hinged wires, are French made and date to the late 19th century.
