Alluring, Rich.

An age-old jewel motif is revived in this alluring coiled snake bracelet. Bright pops of cabochon turquoise contrast dramatically against the richness of the high karat gold. We are reminded of the spiral snake bracelets of Ancient Egypt in the Ptolemaic and Roman periods. (See examples at the British Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art).

The bracelet is not hinged or clasped —it is simply a single coil. To wear, slip onto the wrist via the gap between the head and tail. Super chic worn higher on the arm, too. Slightly adjustable by gentle pressure.
