Maybe it’s because I’m currently immersed in the new Elizabeth Taylor/Richard Burton biography “Furious Love”, and reading about the making of the movie Cleopatra, but this serpent bracelet caught my eye. (A trivia note: the authors say Taylor agreed to make available private correspondence because someone commented to her, “You were involved with Tim Burton? I had no idea!” That made her want to resurrect Burton’s story for a wider and presumably now ignorant audience. )

Made of brass and studded with Swarovski crystals, this is a bangle but could conceivably be worn further up the arm, ancient Roman style. Scandalous affair and paparazzo not included.
