It's a Victorian snake coil
bracelet with 14 karat yellow gold and garnets and a woven hair band,
approximately 14" total length by 1/2" wide, snake head 2" long. For sale here.
Hair
jewelry was the height of the romanticism and sentiment that
characterized
the Victorian era.
Watch
chains and bracelets often show the most ingenious hair weaving
techniques with more
than one color of hair often used, as perhaps a chain given by three
daughters to their father.
