An iconic piece of American costume jewellery from Whiting & Davis, this sculptural silver-tone mesh serpent can be worn as both a dramatic lariat necklace and a statement belt. Crafted from the house's signature fluid metal mesh, the articulated body drapes effortlessly around the neck or waist before looping through itself in a hidden clasp at the rear. Finely detailed serpent head and tail at either end complete the design, lending the piece an unmistakable sense of movement and character.

The enduring symbolism of the serpent, representing transformation, eternity and strength, has made snake jewellery a constant source of inspiration for the world's great jewellery houses. Today, sculptural serpent necklaces continue to define contemporary luxury, making this vintage example feel every bit as relevant now as it did in the 1970's.

Made in the USA.
