Converted in the antique hook earring style, with 18ct gold hooks, this pair of snakes taken from an antique French pair of cufflinks make the most striking earrings!

The snakes have coiled circular bodies, in the art nouveau style, with a ruby set to each head and sparkling rose cut diamond eyes. There is very minor wear to facet edges on the rubies. A very comfortable pair of earrings to wear and enjoy.

*I noticed when I reviewed the photographs of these that one rose cut diamond is missing from an eye. They have gone back to my goldsmith for this to be replaced and will be ready to ship from Monday 16th November. I didn't want to not list them because I know lots of you have been excited for these!

From the top of the hooks to the top of the snakes measures 8.8mm
