With its segmented, slinky body and stylized enameled head, this silver snake pendant feels like something conjured from a surrealist sketchbook. It coils with a sense of movement even when still, an articulated spine of silver cones bristling with bead-like protrusions. At the top, the serpent’s face, crafted in enamel, suggests a curious expression, perhaps playful, perhaps wise.

Handcrafted in the 1960s, this piece measures 79.5 mm long and 8 mm across, and it weighs 10.4 grams. The reverse is marked “925” for sterling silver and bears a partial maker’s mark ending in “AR”.

Quirky, rare, and just the right amount of fierce, this is a conversation-starter for the collector with a taste for the unconventional and a fondness for the fantastical.
