Victorian 1.70 CTW Opal, Garnet, Diamond, and Blue Enamel Snake Necklace
Victorian silver, 18K yellow gold, opal, garnet, and diamond necklace. One of the most captivating expressions of the Victorian serpent motif, this 18K yellow gold and silver snake necklace features a magnificently rendered head and tail in cobalt blue enamel, the head set with a glowing pear-shaped opal cabochon surrounded by rose cut diamonds and ruby-red garnet eyes that give the serpent a mesmerizing, almost living quality. The tail curves beneath, cradling a second round opal cabochon within its own diamond and blue enamel setting. Thirty-six Old Mine cut diamonds scatter across the enamel surface of both head and tail, catching light against the deep blue in a way that is genuinely arresting. The body of the serpent is formed by the necklace's articulated gold scale chain — flexible, substantial, and as beautifully made as everything else here. It comes in its original fitted box, a spectacular and rare piece of Victorian jewelry in extraordinary condition.

"Walton's helped bring his vision to life, and I'll always be grateful for the care they put into creating something that tells our story so perfectly."
DAVIS & ANNA CLAIRE
Walton's Jewelry has been a cherished part of my family's story for generations. They served my mom and dad with the same care and dedication that my husband and I have experienced over the years. If you're looking for a jeweler you can trust for life, look no further than Walton's.
We purchased an engagement ring from Walton's and received amazing customer service and guidance throughout this whole process. Even being 11 hours away from the physical store they provided all necessary certifications and details promptly to secure our interest and I am glad to have their help throughout all this! Highly recommend!
Love Walton’s! Everyone here is amazing, they know so much about antique jewelry and have the most beautiful pieces.
This is the most amazing store I have ever been in! Each person working is passionate and knowledgeable about each piece. There are absolutely no stores like it anywhere around. I look at antique jewelry almost daily online from stores all over the world and I made the trip to Walton’s to get a special piece and couldn’t be happier.
Fantastic, fun experience discovering all the beautiful jewelry at Walton's. Fast, secure delivery too.
Walton's is extraordinary! The inventory is robust, the hospitality is amazing, and they even have the ability to create a wishlist for you. I've purchased antique and new items and had items repaired. Love this spot.
Every experience I have had at Walton’s has been excellent - all of the employees are kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. The jewelry is gorgeous and of the highest quality - 10/10 recommend Walton’s for all of your fine jewelry needs
