Art Nouveau Snake Turquoise & Gold Cufflinks, circa 1900.

A fantastic pair of snake cufflinks from the Art Nouveau (ca1900) period! Each cufflink has an oval-shaped, cabochon turquoise stone bezel set in a 14kt yellow gold mounting. Each stone is bright in color, with flecks of brown at its center. Coiled around the turquoise is a textured, gold snake. The snake is highly detailed and wraps around the entire stone, with its tail and head overlapping. Both cufflinks have a smooth, gold oval back and a connecting curved bar. The backs are stamped "14K" along with a makers mark. A. Brandt + Son
