If you follow me on Instagram (or know me IRL), you’ll know I have a penchant for vintage and antique snake jewellery! I was thrilled to discover this beautiful piece recently at the Shepton Flea Market.

Circa 1920s, this is an early plastic, faux tortoiseshell snake bangle or cuff. It is sleek, simple and elegant.

The silhouette is simultaneously instantly recognisable as a serpent, and incredibly minimalist.

It's an elegant, Art Deco piece and the perfect addition to any snake lover's jewellery collection.

It is available on my Etsy shop, amongst dozens of other hand picked vintage treasures!
