Antique 19th Century Victorian Grand Tour Carved Vesuvius Lava Stone Snake Wrap Bracelet with Genuine Rubies

Hand-chiseled by Italian lapidaries from the historic volcanic formations of Mount Vesuvius, this rare specimen is in pristine condition. The articulated, segmented reptile body is strung on a tensioned internal wire framework, to coil around the wrist.

The hand-carved serpent head showcases exceptional detail and is inset with two vibrant red ruby gemstone eyes. This unique wearable art creates a rare intersection of fine gemology, archaeological revival design, and geologic history.
