Incredibly rare 1920s silver wash over brass snake lariat necklace with natural ruby eyes. Exquisitely articulated with a unique chain link that created the body of the snake, with a hand engraved head and tail. Likely originally used as a watch chain. Beautiful patina throughout that only adds to the beauty of this rare find.
