People have been adorning their bodies with golden snakes for thousands of years. Whether in the form of rings, necklaces or bracelets, the snake's elegant, supple body makes it a particularly evocative motif. Each era of jewelry history has interpreted the motif in its own way, and the snake has often taken on different symbolic meanings. As "Ouroboros", a snake devouring its own tail symbolized eternity, so that snake jewelry in the Biedermeier period became an expression of eternal love. At the same time, however, in the Christian world the snake was regarded as the temptress of Eve, and so snake jewelry also became established towards the end of the 19th century, which was intended to emphasize the dangerous beauty of the femme fatale. The symbolism of the snake has thus oscillated for thousands of years and has lost none of its fascination to this day. This snake bangle was created in the 1920s. The highlight of the reptile is its flexible body made of three-colored gold, which consists of countless flexibly connected links. It is flexible and therefore very supple, so that it wraps around the wrist tightly and precisely in impressive coils. The bangle is a wonderful, very well-preserved piece of jewelry that we discovered in the south of England.
