Eye candy post while I edit and sort photos from the trips I took the last 2 weekends! Prettiness and adventures coming up!
I keep coming across (on the interwebs, I wish in real life) Victorian jewelery with snake motifs. Motifs from the natural world shows up often in Victorian jewelery – bouquets of flowers, branches, leaves, berries. Snake and serpent motifs reached their peak in the 1850’s, as a decorative motif symbolizing wisdom and eternity/infinity. Victorian jewels were often set with gems that were attributed with magical properties and special meanings.
Either way, I’d like it all, please.
This past year I found an amazing Whiting and Davis gold coil snake bracelet that I fell in love with. I also took out an 80s snake belt and coiled it through my curls and wore it as a headband – I posted it in Wardrobe Remix and had some positive feedback. Then, this summer, for the first time ever, I found snakes in my yard. Multiple times. perhaps, this is symbollically the year of the snake? If so, i should probably look into what that migh tmean for the rest of my life =) Beautiful pieces here, wouldn’t it be nice to stumble across some of these?
