This charming vintage bangle, crafted in 18K gold, dates to the 1940s and takes the form of a coiled snake—a symbol of eternity and renewal. The snake's body is delicately engraved with a scale-like texture, adding dimension and realism to its sinuous form.

The head is adorned with tiny ruby eyes. The tongue of the box clasp features hallmarks that are now too faded to read, but the gold has been tested to confirm its 18K composition. This hollow gold design allows for a lightweight feel while maintaining an impressive presence, weighing 16.86 grams.

The bangle is hinged, ensuring ease of wear, and is further secured with a safety chain. It has an internal diameter of 6.5cm x 5.1cm, making it a comfortable fit for most wrists.

Condition: Good overall condition with minor dents commensurate with age. The hidden clasp functions perfectly. A truly lovely example of mid-20th-century craftsmanship!

The era of vintage jewellery is one of eclectic styles, combining elements from past eras with contemporary designs, featuring unique materials like resin and a variety of brightly coloured gemstones.

Vintage jewellery is a popular choice for those looking to add a touch of personality to their collection, encompassing styles from the 1940s to the turn of the century. This era saw a revival of previous styles, such as Art Deco and Victorian designs, along with the use of unique materials like plastic and resin. From the splendour of Mid-century to the often humorous designs of the 70s and 80s, vintage jewellery offers a wealth of history and personality to be explored and enjoyed.
