Built around a durable steel spring, the bangle is elegantly cased in smooth, flexible 9ct yellow gold, allowing it to expand comfortably around the wrist. At either end, a serpent’s head and tail are delicately engraved, with a scrolling heart motif on the head, finished with piercing pink ruby eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEgyptian-inspired snake jewellery enjoyed a revival in the 20th century, fuelled by discoveries such as Tutankhamun’s tomb, which sparked fascination across Europe. Coiled snakes were often worn as symbols of royalty and protection in ancient Egypt but in modern times, their coiled shape is also heavily associated with eternal love and devotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn excellent condition and fully hallmarked on the reverse of the head, this beautifully made vintage snake bangle is a striking and collectable example of mid-century artistry. Wear it coiled around the wrist, or higher on the upper arm for a dramatic, Cleopatra-inspired look.\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eWEIGHT\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e22.9 grams\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eMEASURES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e: Circumference \u003c\/span\u003e6.5 inches (Expandable) x Width 6mm – Head 32mm x Width 10.5mm\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eMETAL\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eSteel Spring\/ Yellow\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e Gold (\u003c\/span\u003eStamped 9ct\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eSTONES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e: Rubies \u003c\/span\u003e(approx. 0.03ct each)\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eAGE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eDated 1958\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eMARKS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eChester Hallmarks, 375\/9ct stamp,\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e Maker’s mark (S\u0026amp;P)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e: Excellent, commensurate with age\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eITEM NUMBER:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBF012\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laurelle Antique Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60191246156160,"sku":"BF012","price":1975.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0137\/0033\/3614\/files\/Vintage-Snake-Bangle-9ct-Gold-Ruby-cover.jpg?v=1792749857","url":"https:\/\/laurelleantiquejewellery.com\/products\/vintage-snake-bangle-9ct-gold-ruby-eyes-smith-and-pepper-dated-1958","provider":"Laurelle Antique Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
