An early 19th century hair brooch in the shape of a snake biting its tail, which is a symbol for eternity.
The snake's body is textured in a fine criss cross pattern which is very effective, and the hair in the crystal center is in two colors forming an interesting design, almost like moss agate. Tested 14K gold.
Lovely historical piece, with the original C clasp and pin.
Size: 1 1/8 by 3/4.
Condition: Very good.
Small trace of solder under original c clasp.

Although not a large piece, the craftsmanship in this antique grouse bar pin is exceptional, and the gold,
platinum, and enamel work reflect the care in which it was made. The bar pin is 15Kt gold, and the grouse is platinum with a rose gold center, a yellow gold top, and a copper enameled head with a yellow enamel beak & eye. There is a safety pin and chain attached.
A subtle piece but exquisitely crafted.
Condition: Excellent.
Size: Pin- length 2 1/4 inches. Grouse- slightly more than 3/8 inch high. Width- 1/2 inch.
