14k Gold Serpent & Woman Figure Pendant. A Rare, One-of-a-Kind Treasure
They called her Lilith, Adam’s first wife. In ancient Jewish folklore, she was the woman who refused to be ruled, walking away from Eden rather than submit.
Over centuries, Lilith became more than myth. She became a symbol of feminine defiance, beauty, and power, the woman who chose freedom, no matter the cost.
The poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti whispered of her:
"Her enchanted hair was the first gold… and her sweet tongue could deceive before the snake’s."
And in John Collier’s 1887 painting, Lilith appears; nude, serene, a serpent coiled around her body, not as a villain, but as a vision of unapologetic beauty and strength.
This same spirit inspired the jewelry of the Art Nouveau era, where sensual, untamed women entwined with serpents became a celebration of nature, desire, and feminine independence.
This antique brooch echoes that legacy; a rare, seductive piece where a serpent weaves around the female form, whispering of freedom, beauty, and quiet rebellion.
The serpent gracefully curves around a woman's torso, together forming the shape of a bold, sculptural letter B. The serpent's body is intricately carved with scale details and adorned with shimmering diamond accents, adding texture and brilliance to this captivating design.
