The serpent has carried meaning for as long as jewelry has existed — shedding its skin as a symbol of renewal, coiling as a symbol of eternity, worn close to the body as a kind of protection. Victorian jewelers leaned into that symbolism fully, and this brooch continues their language, its coiled silver form catching light the way a serpent motif has for well over a century.
The brooch's textured metalwork traces the snake's body in silver, with warm gold-tone accents defining its head and features, while a deep black onyx detail anchors the design with quiet contrast. Small enough for a lapel, scarf, or coat, it carries outsized presence for its size.
The brooch presents in excellent vintage condition, its silver and gold tones retaining their contrast and shine. This is a piece that has clearly been cared for since the 1930s.
