Buying jewelry online can be a minefield, but I have gotten some of my most beloved pieces from Dover Jewelry. (And no, they aren’t paying me to say this, nor have I ever requested or received any discounts or other promotional consideration from them.)

I love this antique gold mesh coiled snake bracelet. They describe it this way: This fascinating antique  flexible bracelet of artistic design and meticulous craftsmanship is rendered in an enchanting woven pattern in solid 18K yellow gold, weighing approximately 57 grams. This alluringly feminine bracelet depicts the sculptured silhouette of a snake, the textured yellow gold simulating the recognizable skin of the snake. The eyes  are shown with a duo of enchanting rubies, weighing cumulatively 0.10 cts, while an eye-catching oval-faceted diamond, weighing 1.75cts, graded J-K color and VS clarity adorns the serpent’s head. This exquisite antique bracelet is in very good  condition. Weight is approx 57.00 grams. Snake approx. 29″ long and 10 mm wide. Total diamond weight approx. 1.75cts. Total ruby weight approx  .10cts

This piece sells for USD$10,999.
