GEORGIAN HIGH CARAT GOLD HAND WITH SNAKE PENDANT

A stunning early 19th century hand and snake pendant made in 15ct gold.

Circa 1820/30; the pendant has been modelled in 3D so looks great from all angles.

The front has a deep scrolled foliate cuff set with three bright turquoise stones.

The hand has a wonderful stippled texture all the way around to the fingers.

The hand wears a lovely pink faceted ruby ring on the forefinger, and clasps an ouroboros snake!

The detail is wonderful, the snake has a happy face and his tail curls around creating the perfect loop to use as a chain extender!

The pendant also looks fabulous hanging on a simple chain.

The Georgians often used the hand motif as a symbol for loyalty, fortune and strength.

The ouroboros snake represented the concept of ‘eternity’ and ‘love everlasting’.

A very cool pendant!
