.22 Victorian Diamond & Ruby Snake Bracelet 14k

This Victorian snake bracelet wraps around the wrist in 14 karat yellow gold with intricate textured scales running along its 21.75-inch coiled length. The snake's head features a .22 carat old European cut diamond in a bezel setting—this antique cut creates soft, romantic sparkle rather than the sharp brilliance of modern diamonds. Two cabochon ruby eyes add a pop of deep red color. The G color grade means the diamond appears nearly colorless to the eye with just the faintest warmth, while the SI1 clarity indicates small inclusions that won't be visible without magnification.

The wrap design lets you adjust the fit and creates visual interest as the snake coils around your arm. In excellent antique condition, this piece has survived over a century with its detailed metalwork intact.
