A rare Van Cleef & Arpels vintage gold bracelet with a snake design; features sapphires and diamonds. The bracelet is crafted as two stylized cobra snakes, with the heads staged side by side. The snake “bodies” are flexible and comprise connected movable sections. One of the “tails” features a diamond on the clasp. Each snake’s “head” is adorned with three graduated in size, vertically lined up, round cut diamonds. Above the diamonds there are five channel set sapphires.
