The head has also been finely engraved with foliate patterning and a large heart charm is suspended from its mouth, featuring another garnet in the centre, with a secret locket concealed at the back that would have traditionally held a lock of a loved one’s hair.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eCoiled snakes have long carried symbolic meaning, but they became especially popular in the 19th century as a token of love and devotion after Prince Albert presented Queen Victoria with a serpent ring during their courtship. The union of the snake’s head and tail represents eternity, while its tightly coiled body signifies a strong, unbreakable bond. Garnets enhance the romance further, with their deep red\/ pink hues evoking the passion, devotion, and the enduring love of the heart. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;\"\u003eThe bracelet is fashioned entirely in 18ct yellow gold with an ingeniously designed body, made up of star-studded snake-links, skilfully interlocked to create a long, articulated body that slithers fluidly.
