The snake or serpent design in jewellery goes back to Roman times and was also often seen in Georgian and Victorian times. Representing an eternal love, this romantic style has been seen throughout the ages. Indeed Queen Victoria's own engagement ring was a snake ring set with rubies, emeralds and diamonds, and here is a lovely vintage snake necklace made in 1986 proving that it is a design that has never gone out of fashion or style.
Made in 9 carat yellow gold, the link of the necklace is called a tubogas link, which itself goes back to Roman times, however the tubogas necklace used in jewellery really started coming into the forefront in jewellery from the Retro era of the 1940's and has such an incredible tactile feel to it that is even more amazing around the neck. The tubogas design will have you reaching up and touching it with your fingers as it sits so gracefully around the neck. The links measure 6.0mm wide and the necklace measures 40cm in length allowing the snake head to sit perfectly on the neckline where it will always be admired.
This is such a wonderful necklace that will always be admired and commented on for its design and elegance.
