A vintage snake brooch crafted in 9KT gold, designed as a flowing intertwined serpent form. The body is set with alternating oval-cut garnets and round brilliant cut diamonds, with a central drop section featuring additional garnets, a small opal, and a suspended pearl drop. The snake motif is detailed with textured gold edges, giving the piece definition and movement. This type of stylised serpent design became popular again in the mid-20th century, drawing on earlier Victorian symbolism of eternity and renewal, but executed here in a more fluid and decorative 1950s style. A well-proportioned piece with strong colour contrast and good overall presence.
