A beautifully chased Georgian Snake bracelet with a wonderful face and little sharp teeth ! The bracelet measures 16.5cm, not including the head and weighs 17.20g. With fine chasing to the face, neck and back , in the most intricate of detailing, this is indeed a fine example of its kind. The gold is a lovely 'melt in the mouth' butter colour and has tested 18ct. There are three cabochon graduating Turquoises (natural) to the head and two Garnet cabochons that make up the eyes ; all are in good nick. To the moth are fine, little sharp teeth....The links of the bracelet are articulated and graduated in size. A firm slide, tongue in groove clasp exits to the side of the head.
