A beautiful vintage snake bangle made by “Smith & Pepper” in the late 20th Century. The bangle consists of a durable steel spring that has been wrapped in 9ct gold and leads to the serpent’s head and tail that have been delicately engraved and set with ruby eyes.
It’s a clever design and the spring expands to fit the wrist comfortably. It’s complete with the maker’s initials and Birmingham hallmarks on the back of the head which date it to 1971.
