The snake motif has been utilized in jewelry since the Ancients. Long considered as a symbol of royalty and wisdom, it has been documented that Cleopatra was famous for her snake jewelry. Later, the design was popularized during the Victorian Era when Prince Albert famously presented Queen Victoria with an engagement ring in the form of a snake. Representing eternal love, that ring caused a sensation, and snake jewelry has been a fashion statement ever since.
Meet "Saffie", a gorgeous modern take on the beloved snake! Crafted in 18 karat yellow gold, her body is a stylized coil encrusted with diamonds on one end and capped with bright orange carved carnelian which continues her flowing line. Suspended by a delicate 14 karat yellow gold twisted link chain which totals 15", she is light and comfortable to wear. Stylish and chic, she will look fabulous on her own or layered with a savage 'neck mess' if you choose!
