Crafted in France during the mid-20th century, this elegant vintage snake bangle tells a romantic story of two souls entwined as one. The bypass serpent motif - an ancient symbol of protection and eternity - is beautifully brought to life through finely hand-chased scales, leading to two heads, crowned with two warm oval cut glass-pastes, emulating honey-hued citrines. 

Unlike modern plating, this bracelet bears the prestigious Plaqué Or Laminé stamp, signifying a luxurious, high-quality 18k rolled gold finish designed to stand the test of time. Beneath the exterior lies a durable metal coil, allowing the flexible band to expand and wrap around the wrist for a comfortable, custom fit. 

It remains in excellent condition to this day, with the prestigious French maker’s mark on the inside. Wear it as a romantic vintage statement bangle or expand it to wrap around the upper arm for a touch of Cleopatra-style elegance.
