A collar of triangular shaped Burmese rubies separates the head from the snake-like body encrusted with single-cut diamonds in divided platinum compartments. A small snake with emerald eyes wraps the coiled body just under the head. The flattened end is set with calibrated rubies and diamonds. Two pivot pin hinges allow the bracelet to expand slightly. The inside circumference equals approximately 6.5 inches and the weight is 138 grams.
One missing ruby at the tail, and lead solder spot in this same area. There are no condition issues, no repairs, no other missing stones, very good condition overall.
