Well, what can I say about this stunning vintage snake bangle...... It has been crafted c1975 in solid sterling silver (it's weighty!), and then plated in gorgeous rich gold. The bangle is fully hallmarked on the inside and on researching, I believe the Maker to be Fred Manshaw and highly collectable.
The snake itself is beautifully detailed with etching and engraving to depict scales. The eyes are set with two tiny garnets.
The bangle is hinged and fastens by a little ‘lug’ on the tail that engages in a hole on the snake’s head.
The inside of the bangle is fully hallmarked, which is rather nice to see and additionally stamped GOLD PLATED ON STERLING SILVER
The bangle is in excellent pre loved vintage condition.
Totally retro cool - stack it or wear it alone.

Be Gentle with Me...........
Please treat your vintage bracelet with the care and respect deserving of its age. Rub gently with a soft silver polishing cloth periodically to keep its vibrancy. Please do not bathe in your vintage jewellery. Avoid dropping on hard surfaces. Enjoy!
