VICTORIAN BANDED AGATE & SNAKE GILT NECKLACE

A substantial Victorian banded Agate necklace with a gorgeous snake drop.

Circa 1860, the large domed banded Agates are set in a gilt metal closed back setting.

Even though the settings are in metal, the quality of work, and attention to detail is similar to pieces made in gold! 

This central drop is a large oval Agate, with a chunky snake coiled around it.

The necklace has two extra hooks on the reverse side so you could add additional pendants if you wanted.

Fastens with the original hook and eye fastening.

This pieces looks so good worn! Perfect to finish off an outfit with a statement.
