This Victorian serpent brooch is crafted in 9ct gold and dates to the 1890s. A peachy coral orb sits central on a thick gold bar, around it, a coiled snake.

The Victorians loved coral and believed it protected against harm and negative energy, the iconic snake motif a power symbol of transformation, protection, eternal love, and rebirth. When paired, this duo can represent a journey of personal growth and empowerment.

The bar and the snake are crafted in honey hued 9 carat gold, the clasp or frame fashioned as a safety pin type closure, the clasp and hinge are both sturdy and securely fastens.
