Description :

Eternal Bite: Serpent Brooch in Mythic Form

Vintage gold-tone brooch in the form of an Ouroboros—the ancient symbol of a snake consuming its own tail, representing infinity and renewal. Cast in textured metal with lifelike scale detail and a turquoise cabochon accent at the head. Unmarked, but reminiscent of mid-century costume pieces by designers like Trifari or Monet. Measures 2" in diameter.

  • Material: Gold-tone metal, turquoise glass cabochon

  • Dimensions: 2" diameter

  • Design: Ouroboros serpent with textured body and turquoise head detail

  • Markings: Unmarked

  • Style Note: Symbolic of eternity and transformation, this motif has roots in Egyptian, Greek, and alchemical traditions—popularized in jewelry during the Victorian revival and again in 20th-century mystic modernism



Dimensions : 3 in W
