Silver Serpent Brooch with Malachite Drop

Jewelry with fangs. In the best possible way.

Regal, Dramatic, Unforgettable

This isn't subtle jewelry. A textured silver serpent with intricately detailed scales coils symmetrically, its crowned head set with emerald green cabochon eyes that seem to watch you. Pops of coral-red stones punctuate the body, creating unexpected warmth against the cool antique silver. And dangling below — a malachite-look drop stone with those gorgeous striped green bands that add movement every time you breathe.

The symmetrical design feels almost heraldic, like something a powerful woman in a period drama would pin to her velvet cape. It's statement jewelry for people who mean it.

The Color Combination That Works Year-Round

Here's what makes this piece surprisingly versatile: the jewel-toned palette transcends seasons. The emerald greens and coral reds feel fresh and vibrant in spring and summer. The antique silver finish and rich tones ground it perfectly for fall and winter. It's not a seasonal brooch — it's an always brooch.

Pin it on black, navy, cream, forest green, burgundy — the colors play beautifully with neutrals and jewel tones alike.

Where You'll Wear It

• On a black blazer — instant power energy for work or events
• On a coat lapel — the detail that elevates your entire winter wardrobe
• On a scarf — secure your wrap and add serious bohemian drama
• On a sweater — transforms basics into conversation pieces
• On a handbag — because bag brooches are having a moment
• Anywhere you want to feel like the most interesting person in the room

The Symbolism (For Those Who Care)

Snakes represent transformation, renewal, wisdom, and the shedding of what no longer serves you. Wearing serpent jewelry isn't just aesthetic — it's a statement about embracing change and emerging stronger.

The crowned head on this piece adds another layer: sovereignty over your own transformation. You're not just changing — you're ruling the process.

Built for Sensitive Skin

The nickel-free, lead-free construction means this brooch is safe for those with metal sensitivities. Pin it directly on your favorite pieces without worry.

Perfect for:

• The friend who loves dramatic statement pieces
• Birthday gifts for bold personalities
• Anyone embracing a personal transformation
• Lovers of vintage-inspired and bohemian jewelry
• Treating yourself to something with presence and meaning
