Snake Collar Necklace – British Museum
£400.00
Product description from their website:
A showstopping Greek-inspired, gold-plated coiled snake collar embellished with agate stones.
Celebrate Greek mythology with this bold, collar-style necklace. Crafted from gold-plated brass, the piece features an intricate design composed of articulated rings and bands. The focal point is undoubtedly the three coiled snake elements, precisely wound around the rings. Acting as connecting links, the snakes are adorned with striking semi-precious agate stones that effortlessly dazzle as they catch the light.
Please note that due to the handmade nature of this necklace, the arrangement and colour of the agates will vary from piece to piece.
Produced in France, this collection expertly mixes materials in a bohemian, chic and retro spirit. The design is inspired by Greek mythology, where the snake was associated with both positive and negative forces. While snakes were seen as symbols of fertility and wisdom, they were also regarded by the Greeks as omens of danger and chaos.
An exquisite statement piece, ideal for lovers of daring jewellery.
