Description
A beautiful vintage snake bangle, made in Birmingham by Smith and Pepper in the late 20th Century. The bangle is built around a durable steel spring that has been cased in a flexible 9ct yellow gold that expands to fit the wrist comfortably. Its finished with a serpents head and tail which have been delicately engraved and set with pink ruby eyes.
Smith & Pepper was founded by Mr. Smith and his Uncle Mr. Pepper who were based in the Birmingham Jewellery quarter from 1899 to 1981. They were renowned for their high-quality jewellery, most notably Egyptian-themed snake designs, which grew in popularity after the discovery of King Tutankhamuns tomb in 1922.
This is a wonderfully designed vintage snake bangle, that looks beautiful coiled around the wrist, or upper arm and is complete with the makers mark on the back of the head.
