About the Item
Fine antique ruby, bloodstone, carnelian, agate 14K yellow gold snake bracelet
19th Century
This exquisite snake bracelet features scales of striking, exotic agates- moss, banded, blue lace together with carnelian, red jasper and bloodstone, set in finely engraved foliate gold setting. The eyes of the snake are cabochon rubies.
Snake bracelets are one of the oldest forms of animal jewelry, dating to the 8th century BCE. They are associated with healing which has evolved into the Caduceus symbol of modern medicine. The ancient Egyptians were especially fond of snake bracelets, envoked for protection in the name of Nehebkau, the magical serpent and companon of Ra, the Sun god. The 19th century saw a resurgence of the snake bracelet in Archaelogical Revival jewelry, which became a symbol of sophistication in the upper eschelons of society. The trend continues today with the beautiful, sinuous snake taken up by Bulgari as their muse.

Antique Etruscan Revival Grand Tour Intaglio 15K Yellow Gold Locket Bracelet
Located in New York, NY
Museum quality large antique Etruscan Revival Grand Tour carnelian intaglio 15K yellow gold locket bracelet
Circa 1860
The impressive scale of this stunning bracelet indicates that it was created for a very wealthy individual, likely to commemorate a Grand Tour voyage. The exquisitely engraved carnelian intaglio depicts a complex scene with classical Roman architectural buildings, possibly the Piazza del Popolo in Rome, surrounded by angels with Christ amidst clouds watching over the Eternal City and being crowned by angels. The impressive size of the intaglio and superb execution point to this piece being created in Rome by a jeweler possibly associated with the Vatican Workshops. Rome was the pinnacle of attraction of the Grand Tour- the seat of papal splendour, capital of the ancient world and a treasure trove of art. Numerous fine jewelers worked tirelessly to create beautiful mementos to commemorate the Grand Tour travels of the wealthy. The Castellani family, Carlo Giuliano, Cesare Roccheggiani are among the prominent makers who supplied Grand Tour jewels. The demand for these was so strong that British Crown jewelers...
