Victorian Scottish Silver Banded Agate Ouroboros Snake Brooch

Unit price
per 
Tax included.

An beautiful high Victorian antique Scottish banded agate sterling silver brooch in the form of an Ouroboros (a mythical snake or serpent that swallows its own tail) representing eternity, infinity and everlasting love.

A classic love token amulet, the oval brooch is crafted in sterling silver with the snake body hand-etched in realistic detailing. The centre of the brooch set with a tube of glowing orange translucent banded agate that is cut in facets. The sweeping circular design is built up in tiers giving a fabulous open and dimensional effect that is both elegant and super stylish. Absolutely gorgeous, a striking and unusual piece of antique Scottish jewellery and a charming love token!

Snake, serpent and love knot jewellery set with Scottish gemstones was very fashionable in the 1870's at the height of the "Scottish Pebble" craze that occurred after Queen Victoria purchased Balmoral Castle in Scotland. She set a fashion trend for Scottish jewellery which became highly collectable and it still remains that way today!
