Anti Tarnish Snake Cuff Bracelet with Detailed Head

Product Overview

This is the most literal of the snake cuffs we stock, and the one people either love immediately or pass over. The head is properly modelled, with a defined brow, a tapering snout and two dark eyes that give the whole piece a focus the other versions do not have. The body behind it is set with small clear stones that follow the coil around the wrist. If you like the snake motif, this is the one that actually reads as a snake from across a room rather than as an abstract shape.

Design Details

The head is broader than the body and shaped with a slight downward curve, so it looks as though it is resting rather than rearing. Small stones are set over its upper surface following the contours, and two dark accents sit where the eyes belong, which is the detail that brings the face to life. Behind the head the body narrows steadily and carries a continuous line of stones along its length, coiling once around the wrist before finishing at an open back. The tail passes close beside the head without meeting it, which is what gives the coil its tension.

Product Highlights

• Properly modelled head with a defined brow and snout
• Dark accented eyes giving the face its focus
• Stone-set body coiling once around the wrist
• Open back, slides on without a clasp
• Anti-tarnish coating over gold plating, about 15 grams

Styling Suggestions

Wear it alone and turn the head to sit on top of the wrist. A strong motif like this one wants an empty arm and a plain sleeve, and it works best against solid colours rather than printed or heavily worked fabric. Keep earrings small; a full set alongside this reads as too much. It suits western clothing as readily as Indian wear.

Perfect For

Parties, evenings out and festive dinners, and for anyone who wants jewellery with some character rather than another plain band. The snake is also one of the oldest motifs in jewellery, which gives it a longevity that passing trends do not have.

Care Instructions

The modelled head has more crevices than any other part of the range, and that is exactly where residue gathers and detail disappears. Wipe the cuff with a dry soft cloth after every wear and work gently around the brow, snout and eyes with a clean dry makeup brush. Keep perfume and sanitiser off it. Never soak it, since water lodges in the modelling. Store it alone in its pouch.
