A captivating relic of the late Victorian era, this antique French snake slider pendant is crafted in rich 18ct gold and set with a glittering rose-cut diamond. Dating to the late 19th century, the snake—an enduring symbol of eternity and transformation—features ruby cabochon eyes and a sinuous, intertwined design.
Originally a brooch, it has been sensitively converted for wear as a slider pendant while preserving its original open-hook bail. This allows for versatile styling on chains, collars, or cuffs. Measuring 30mm wide by 22mm long and weighing 3.07g, it carries both historical charm and sculptural impact.
