Antique Turquoise Snake Brooch of 14k Gold

This antique brooch (circa 1910) depicts a sinuous snake coiled protectively around a vibrant turquoise cabochon, crafted in rich 14k gold. The serpent—a powerful motif in jewelry since antiquity—symbolizes protection, wisdom, and eternal love, while the turquoise adds a striking burst of color long associated with vitality and good fortune.

The brooch measures 0.6 inches by 2 inches across, offering an elegant, elongated silhouette. The gold content has been verified through XRF (x-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, ensuring purity and integrity.

In great condition, this jewel beautifully reflects the fascination with symbolic and naturalistic motifs in early 20th-century design—making it a meaningful and collectible addition to any antique jewelry collection.
