This Edwardian snake pendant comes in a 9ct gold construction with a coiled serpent design. The piece features grain-set seed pearls along the winding body and a facetted red ruby set as an eye detail in the textured head, which has intricate engraving work across the surface. An integral suspension loop sits at the top terminal above a series of ascending spirals. The pendant has a drop length of 50mm and a width of 13mm. The gold shows a warm yellow hue contrasting against the white pearls and the deep red ruby accent. The surface displays clean lines with no visible dents or signs of wear across the metalwork or stones. Such a pendant is suitable for wearing as personal jewellery on a chain or cord in contemporary settings.

FAQs

Serpent imagery was widely popular during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, symbolising eternity and wisdom. These motifs were crafted in gold and often adorned with precious gemstones and seed pearls.

Edwardian snake pendants were typically made from 9ct or 15ct yellow gold, featuring seed pearls set along the body and small rubies, sapphires, or garnets embedded in the serpent head.

Authentic items show signs of period manufacturing techniques, such as star-set seed pearls, hand-engraved details, light gold gauges, and original maker hallmarks or carat stamps.

Antique jewellery items like serpent pendants can be displayed within glass cloches on dressing tables or framed inside velvet-lined shadow boxes as decorative wall displays.

Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposure to water, liquid cleaners, or chemical solvents, as moisture can degrade seed pearl mountings and weaken antique gold solder joints.
