1940s Forstner Sterling Double Coil Snake Bracelet

Snake themed jewelry has been slithering its way into our hearts for thousands of years. Representing everything from loyalty and love to rebirth, transformations, sexuality and desire, these sacred serpents have been idolized across cultures and time. However, it wasn't until 1839, when Queen Victoria was engaged to Prince Albert, that the snake was catapulted into the mainstream to became the most iconic motif in jewelry. The Queen's golden serpent engagement ring set a trend throughout Europe and soon snake-themed jewelry was at the forefront of fashion -- and it continued its reign throughout the following Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods and even today! This beautiful double coil serpentine bracelet is hand crafted in highly detailed sterling silver and gives off some major Cleopatra vibes. It has enough flexibility that it could be worn as a bracelet or an arm cuff and it is sturdy enough to be your new favorite everyday accessory! Additional Details Date: 1940s Materials:
