Antique Victorian Diamond Ruby Snake On Cane Bar Pendant Chain Extender
A totally unique bar pendant, only one like this in the whole wide world for the unique you !
He started his life as a pin made in the Continental Europe around 1880. We removed the pin fitting and added two 9 karat gold bales in matching colour gold on each end, balancing him perfectly, so that he can be worn horizontally as a bar pendant or on the side of your chain for a different, stunning look. He becomes a chain extender this way and can be worn both with your Albert chains or others, anchored by the dog clips or on thinner chains. These will need to have two bale clasps on each end - one is already on any chain you own and the other easily added. Please enquire if you need one, we will be delighted to help. Do please take a look at our photos for inspiration.
He is not hallmarked with gold fineness mark so has been tested but it is numbered, which indicates a great quality piece of jewellery. His style and fantastic workmanship point to the Austro Hungarian Empire as his place of origin. The cane is made in 14 karat rose gold and snake's body of silver, creating a moody, charming setting for the gorgeous gems. The diamonds in the snake's head are beautiful cushion old mine cut diamonds of superb colour and brightness, estimated to weigh 0.18 carats in total. His body is set with rose cut diamonds and eyes with rubies. He is a shimmering, sparkling beauty, throwing off a firework of lights.
The pendant is 53.8 mm long, 10.9 mm wide and 16.1 mm wide including the bales. The bales fit the dog clips of the Albert chain comfortably. The pendant weighs 2.8 grams and is in lovely antique condition.
We love ..... this amazing, beautiful jewel with a beautiful meaning. Serpents are symbols of fertility, creativity and our creative life force, representing transformation, immortality and healing. Cane is for wisdom and strength of spirit. A powerful message in a glittering gem.
