Victorian Serpent and Pearl Stickpin

Victorian stickpin of serpent with pearl.

Questioning Serpent!

A fiery serpent clutches a white pearl and sinuously wraps itself around this elegant stickpin. Beautifully crafted in 10kt gold, this diminutive Victorian jewel dates from about 1890.
The serpent has the body of a snake and the head of an eagle which qualifies it as one of the menagerie of fantastic creatures - Basilisks, Griffins, Chimeras - that often graced late Victorian jewels. In keeping with the Victorian fascination with hidden meanings, the serpent is intriguingly formed into a large question mark.
Cost: $275
Measurements: This 10kt gold stickpin is 2.0" in length. The serpent is just over 0.5" tall and 0.375" wide.
The back of the stickpin is pictured below. You can see that the serpent is solidly cast, creating a jewel that will last for at least another hundred years.
