Crafted in 15k vibrant yellow gold, this pin is represented by the twisting body of a serpent. Uniquely, the snake is grasping a dangling, heart-shaped pendant from its slightly ajar mouth. The heart-shaped pendant acts as a locket, storing 2 locks of hair behind a glass pane. However, these mementos could be removed upon request. The head of the serpent and center of the heart-shaped pendant are each adorned with bezel-set banded agate stones, which display a deep brownish-black hue, and feature a white ring inclusion. The eyes of the serpent are represented by 2, small, bezel-set rose cut diamonds, which catch the light beautifully. Furthermore, the entire body of the snake and front surface of the heart-shaped pendant are decorated with incredible black enamel-detailing, which incorporates floral, foliage, and scrolling-motifs. The backside of the piece features a simple pin clasp, and the letters \u003cem\u003e\"C\"\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e\"B\",\u003c\/em\u003e which are both accompanied by crown-motif hallmarks. A true treasure, this pin would make an exquisite addition to any antique jewelry collection!\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e The pin has a total width of 2\" and a height of 1 3\/4\".
