Featured Antique Victorian 14k gold, turquoise, ruby snake

I think it is quite lovely! A good jeweler can set this straight, though I suspect it would be a lot of work.

These are the ones I saw that are probably in line with this one and all seemed to have the same extension on the tail that is missing;

Thank you very much everyone, everyone, everyone... The last option solved my problem. The fact is that the broken tail lies in the same plane with the base. And you can't bend it. will break. Now you just need to add a piece of the tail and there will be "infinity"

 

All variants of such products are very attractive. It is surprising how in 1860 it was possible to make such complex products? It will be difficult to restore, but I think it's real. All the more interesting. Thank you.

 

Talk about complex: From your own country, a Scythian gold pectoral from the Tovsta Mohyla burial mound, 4th century BC.

 

And you should just see Egyptian pieces!
