About the Item
A rare antique Victorian - Art Nouveau Opal Snake Pendant depicting two snakes or serpents wrapped around each other in a dramatic 3 inch length. Each snake is set with a stunning round Opal cabochon with wonderful blue, green and yellow colors. The snake in 10-12 Karat Gold with wonderful details throughout the heads and a stunning sinuous Art Nouveau - Victorian design. The snake pendant dates to circa 1850-1900. It is extremely rare to find these early snake jewels, and particularly set with Opals - and we are so excited when we do!

The snake is 10-12 Karat Gold.
The pendant weighs 2.1 grams.
