Tiffany & Co. Edwardian Diamond Snake Barrette

This Tiffany & Co. diamond and ruby snake barrette mounted in platinum and gold was created in the Edwardian era. The undulating, arched shape designed as two snakes with ruby eyes pursuing each other's tails is set throughout with old European and transitional-cut diamonds, with a broad, optimally flexible gold clip closure on the reverse, mounted in platinum-topped gold. Rarely surviving from a period of bygone glamor, yet a thoroughly modern way to wear diamonds in the hair, this elegant Tiffany jewel is a timeless classic.
