Show me your snake jewelry

[CHRISTY-DANIELLE]

I get the not spending thing. But in my mind, I consider how much I might enjoy an item... and if I'll regret not buying it (especially something unique). If I keep gong back to look, well, that tells me something.
Rarely have I regretted such a purchase.

Thank you @CHRISTY-DANIELLE...will still have a think and also gonna tag @PreRaphaelite to see if she wants to enable .

It's hefty at 7 ish grams-- like you wanted and 18k too. She takes returns, so low risk there. Meanwhile you could inquire on costs from DK.

I just saw this edited part. Yes I saw the weight in asking for more deets asked if she thought most of the heft was in the pin or snake.

I was just reading the same! That she was buried in it. There was a painting of their linked hands but her left hand isn’t showing.

Consider yourself enabled. But maybe I have an ulterior motive and should not be trusted! Conflict of interest!

That safety-pin back looks like rose gold - when you've hade it converted to a pendant, maybe your Bench could keep the pin hardware intact - and then you could sell it to me!

Oh wait - maybe not bc the comments are so old? Now I’m confused…

eta plot thickens the video was in Sept so I wonder if someone bought and returned.

Nice snake rings! I got these earrings for Christmas, I love them. No good photo of me wearing atm so this is the one from the listing.



This is the existing snake thread

Any fans of snake/serpent jewelry?

Just received this little guy last week: It was represented as a Victorian stick pin conversion dating to the late 1800s with an Old Mine Cut diamond set in the head. I don't know how accurate this is, and would love to hear any thoughts on this. To me, the details on the snake head and the...

Seller said the stone was secure in setting and that the pin had more "heft" than the snake but that the snake wasn't lightweight either. One thing I'm trying to visualize is the size bc it's quite smaller than I am envisioning I believe when I look at it near the dime and read that the width is 14mm. Still hemming. Still hawing. This one was also saved in my watchlist. Less expensive, already a pendant, though perhaps not as unique.

Hem haw hem haw hem haw.

Came across this one and thought of this thread immediately. This is a sweet one because it combines the perennial favorites, snakes and skulls. So it really has a lot of cross-appeal. And I love the romantic little heart in the center -- especially when worn facing "out." Maybe I'm just a sucker for romance.

I'm afraid I don't know with certainty what happened with Queen Victoria's ring. I can only speculate that she was buried with it based on her sentimentality. Indeed, the Old Queen had John Brown's mother's wedding ring in her coffin, so why not her own engagement ring? Another thing to consider is that the ring has not been exhibited after Victoria's death (like the exhibition for the 200th anniversary of her birth) and is not listed on the Royal Collection's website.

The ring you posted matches the description of Queen Victoria's - emerald head and ruby eyes, but the execution looks rather poor, even for mid-19th century.

PS: I love snake jewellery, even if I'm appalled by real snakes. Maria Felix had some wonderful examples! <3

ive never given snakes much thought because we just don't have them here, not even in zoos but ive been following these guys on u tube because i love gators and now im warming up to snakes
so i think its really cool the Victorians wore snake rings

Well @CHRISTY-DANIELLE you were right - I do NOT regret this purchase. I just received it in the mail today and I AM SMITTEN. It is absolutely gorgeous and was worth the expense imo. My photos are not as good as the vendor's - it looks just as beautiful irl as in the vendor's pics. But I will show you some anyway especially how I put it on the neck (I will convert to a proper pendant).

@Mreader you know, I'm looking at your pics and like it hanging both head up and head down. I'm wondering if a jeweler could attach a slider type mechanism right in the middle so that you could wear it either way. Just a thought.

 

[meely]

@Mreader its beautiful! That’s going to make the perfect snake pendant!
