Vintage collar necklace in the shape of a coiled snake in a 70's revival of Victorian Egyptian Revival style, in a rosy gold color. The head of the snake is set with emerald eyes, with rubies adorning the top of the head, and similarly, the tail has a line of graduated rubies as well. Both pieces are beautifully detailed, engraved with the texture of scales. The body of the snake is made up of a tubogas style chain, flexible and slightly stretchy. Finished with a box clasp in the back for a secure closure. An absolutely beautiful statement piece.
European fascination with ancient Egypt began in the 1800s, in the aftermath of Napoleon's invasion of the area, influencing design trends for over 100 years through the Victorian era and into the Art Deco era. Later in the 1960s and 70s, there was a resurgence of interest in the Victorian period, leading to the creation of Victorian-inspired jewelry pieces such as this one!
Assayed in London and hallmarked 375 for 9 karat gold. In good condition.

Let customers speak for us
The watch is beautiful and as described on your website. This is my second purchase from your store and I couldn’t be happier! I love my Molimo treasures! Thank you!
First of all, I was worried this would arrive during my holiday travel and customer service helped ensure my ring was made and delivered ahead of the estimated time. The ring itself is perfectly crafted, a good weight, and I especially love the knife edge detail. Every step of the process was above and beyond. Thank you so much, Molimo!!
Absolutely as gorgeous as the pictures. My questions were quickly answered and the rings were able to be resized with no issue! Beautiful packaging too.
Just as decribed and even better in person, thank you!
The ring 💍 is light weighted, but it is incredibly beautiful. It’s so sparkling ✨ and so shiny under the light, looking better than in the picture. This is the perfect gift for my wife. Many of her friends and collogues have given compliments when they see her ring. She highly recommend it to them. Thank you for your amazing design.
The Cherub Pin is Vintage yet Classic .
Attention to detail adds to the pin's look .
This is a beautiful piece- unique stone combination. I love it.
This is the perfect little stack ring, looks great by itself, and very nice that it’s reclaimed and recycled metals and stones. I got the sterling silver version and wear it every day. Love!
Love the item! Great communication and fast shipping too !
