Antique Turquoise and Diamond Snake Pendant of 14k Gold

A striking pendant, featuring a sinuous 14k gold snake coiled protectively around a large, vibrant turquoise cabochon. The serpent’s head is set with a sparkling diamond, and the pendant is crowned with a diamond-set surmount, adding refined brilliance to this powerful Victorian symbol of eternity, protection, and everlasting love.

Originally an antique brooch, the piece was expertly transformed by our jeweler, who removed the pin findings and added a 14k gold bail, preserving the integrity of the original piece while creating a bold, wearable pendant.

The pendant measures approximately 1.2 inches from the top of the bail to the bottom by 0.8 inches wide and weighs 5.32 grams. The gold has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and confirmed with jeweler’s acid testing, authenticating its 14k composition.

In excellent antique condition, this pendant is a dramatic and collectible example of turn-of-the-century snake jewelry, ideal for connoisseurs of symbolic and sculptural Victorian design.
