Striking vintage Victorian-style serpent bracelet featuring a hand-carved coiled snake design with detailed engraved scales and contrasting inlaid eyes.


The bracelet is carved from a dark natural material believed to be horn, with subtle striations and tonal variations visible in the surface. The serpent’s body forms a sculptural overlapping coil, terminating in a beautifully carved head and tightly curled tail.


Snake and serpent jewelry became especially fashionable during the Victorian era and remains one of the period’s most recognizable jewelry motifs. This piece has that dramatic antique-inspired aesthetic, although its exact age and origin are unknown.


The spiral construction allows the bracelet to be wound onto the wrist rather than simply slipped over the hand like a traditional closed bangle. Please compare the measurements with a bracelet you already own for the best indication of fit.
