Featured What do I do with this snake head brooch?

Oh, not my hair, I got a damaged watch chain made of 3 braided hair work tubes. I use it as an organ donor when I need to replace or repair.
See the “kyratisations” thread, there:

Gold and silver are bad luck when worn together. Pair it with a gold tone thingy instead.. or go with the velvet.

 

The bigger the better
Mine are always HUUUGE

 

Very nice and since it’s a relatively small piece a bracelet would make it stand out more

 

I never heard of that in my country!

 

I was taking a class in college in the occult. That is where I read it and it stuck with me.

 

Must be a regional thing. I've never heard of it either, but then I don't believe in luck.

 

Im a dead man walking then because i mix gold and silver all the time !

 

Nah, you are too good a person, so no worries Johnny.

 

The occult is an umbrella term for many different traditions and beliefs, and I can't imagine they all believe that.
I have never heard of it, and often wear gold and silver together.

The Balinese, great believers in warding off evil and bad luck, clearly didn't get the memo either:

 

one day , gold started showing up on NWC native silver jewelry ........
no superstitions ....just makes the silver work.... cost more !!!

 

Oooo I like that !

 

Update: it arrived today! Looks fine on a red velvet .
But I can’t fix the dent on the head as it’s too small for my tool. It’s not that bad tho, as I wouldn’t notice it if the seller didn’t mention it, looks just like a normal snake skull.

Yet I find it a good spot for a additional stone, do I glue it on?

 

Looks great!

I thought it would be. But being small, you don't really notice it.

If you glue it on, I would prefer it the other way around, so the pointed end towards the body.

 

You’re right once I found a reliable jewelry glue!

 

@kyratango , best glue advice please!

 

Good idea! It fits well and enhance the look!
I use Pattex REPAIR GEL for this.
Press firmly and let it sit untouched for 12 hours at least for full strength.

 

Thank you
