Antique Snake Charm of 12k Gold

A captivating antique charm dating to 1905–1920, designed as a finely sculpted snake crafted in 12 karat gold, gracefully coiled around a synthetic green-blue sapphire. The serpent motif was especially popular during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, symbolizing eternity, renewal, wisdom, and enduring love.

The piece measures 0.85 inches from the top of the jump ring to the bottom and 0.35 inches wide, with a weight of 2.21 grams, offering a delicate yet eye-catching presence when worn on a bracelet or chain. It is presented in great antique condition, with crisp detailing and the stone securely set.

Gemstone identification has been confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique that provides a precise chemical fingerprint to verify authenticity.

Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 12K gold construction.
