Antique Onyx Snake Pendant of 14k Gold sparrow jewelry The brooch has a hookSince ancient times, snakes have been seen as entities of strength and renewal, making them popular symbols in jewelry design and decor. We created this one of a kind piece by riveting a coiled 14k gold serpent (originally an antique stickpin) onto an onyx mounted in 14k gold. The serpent holds a . 013ct diamond in its mouth. The piece measures 1. 1 inches from the top of the bail to bottom by 0. 6 inches wide, and it is in great condition. Materials:
