Antique Garnet Serpent Locket Necklace

Offered by: Macklowe Gallery, Ltd

Description
Created in the 1850-1860s, this Victorian snake necklace is formed of 18K gold, almandine garnets and diamonds. It is designed as a serpent with cabochon almandine garnet head highlighted by rose and old mine-cut diamonds and foliate engraved edges, suspending a heart-shaped cabochon garnet, the reverse with locket compartment, completed by a reverse-tapering body of highly-flexible, hollow bombé links and engraved tail. Celebrating an ancient symbol of enduring popularity, this beautifully-made necklace of rich colors and clever design is still stylish, more than 150 years after it was created.
