Victorian Turquoise Snake Locket Bracelet

More sculpture than ornament, this early Victorian bracelet coils ancient symbolism into richly textured goldwork, its form evoking the sinuous body of a serpent. A halo of turquoise cabochons radiates from the center medallion, which conceals a locket beneath—an elegant fusion of beauty and hidden meaning.
