A beautiful Vintage snake bangle made by jewellers “Smith & Pepper” in the mid 20th Century. The bangle consists of a durable steel spring which has been rolled in 9ct gold, leading to the serpent’s head and tail which have been delicately engraved and set with red 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 Chester hallmarks on the back of the head which date it to 1962.
