Clives Unique Jewelry hate snakes except when it comes to jewelry and then it’s a love thing. From Clive’s private collection slithers in this very old (1940’s) Sterling Silver stamped snake adorned with European Marcasites (high table) and a European Sterling Silve Box/Barel clasp. Did you know that snakes symbolize healing, renewal (shedding of skin) and resurrection.
Many people including Clive have put used or unwanted jewelry in a cigar box and placed them in a bureau drawer or some such and there they lay sometimes for years and years. Clive recently opened one of his cigar boxes and pulled out this beauty. It’s a classic Art Deco design brooch replete with a cornucopia of pavé Rhinestones surrounded by red crystal baguettes and a 6 bar square cut rhinestones pointing eastward. This brooch has seen better days but that means it was worn a great deal. It contains scratches and marks consistent with wear. The metal is brass and all the stones are original although a few have diminished in shine. What makes this brooch valuable warts and all is its design. It would take minimal restoration to increase its value of this brooch tenfold. Nothing has been done to this brooch, you see it as it came out of that infamous cigar box. Lets find a new home for this great classic !
