This stunning, unique and bold necklace has been created using a large vintage solid silver Cobra Snake piece (previously a brooch), set with twinkly marcasite stones.  The snake has beauiful intricate detail.
 
I have coupled this glorious piece with a vintage silver rope chain (which ties in nicely with the snake charmer theme).  The chain is smooth and fluid with a wonderful aged patina.
 
The necklace fastens centrally to the front by way of an Albert swivel fastener. 
 
Keeping the snake company on the centre link is a short chain drop from which I have added 3 tiny silver indian bells.  This all move independantly on the ring and add a pretty tinkle sound to charm that snake ;)
 
An eclectically cool forever heirloom jewellery piece, wear alone or layer it up with any other of my necklaces.  Sure to be a conversation starter.  Jewellery with meaning, jewellery with soul.
 
The use of Snakes in Jewellery Making: 
Jewellery featuring snakes has been worn and adored by many ancient and modern civilizations. ... As snakes shed their skin through sloughing, they are symbols of rebirth, transformation, immortality, and healing. The ouroboros is a symbol of eternity and continual renewal of life. Some believe that the serpent represents sexual desire.
