   VICTORIAN snake cuff links with aqua art glass stones that have a nice gold colored matrixWhile serpent motif jewelry goes far back in history, it’s popularity really spread starting in the 1840s and peaked between then and the 1860s (see Understanding Jewellery, Bennett, pages 88 & 104). But as far as I am concerned, it is timeless and unique in both it’s art and symbolism. A snake biting it’s own tail is called an "ouroboros" and it signifies infinity and long life.
