Although this vintage Oscar Heyman jewel is smaller in scale than those of a similar period design, its details make it one of the finest serpent bracelets we’ve seen! A gentle curve and diminutive proportion are reminiscent of an agile grass snake, and the natural whiteness of platinum ensures sparkles from now until forever. Like the additional 85 old European-cut brilliants, the square-cut diamond atop its head and vibrant ruby eyes are held as securely as the day they were set (in precious metal that was individually formed to appear reptilian, no less!). Visit Macklowe Gallery to #beplatinum and bring this exquisite treasure home.
