INQUIRE ABOUT THIS ITEM

ABOUT THIS BRACELET

Two clever French serpents have hold of the golden ring--and they won't let go. Just as well, the circle they create makes a striking (we couldn't help it!) bracelet. Crafted in two-tone 18K gold, the riveting reptiles are designed with deeply ribbed bodies and intricately engraved heads topped by glowing deep red cabochon garnets, all the while keeping their bright ruby eyes (later replacements) on the prize. Measures 7 inches. From France according to the multiple hallmarks.

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
