Antique Paste Glass Earrings | 14k Gold & Paste Earrings tradmarkantiques We created this one-of-a-kind piece

We created this one-of-a-kind piece by mounting the teardrop shaped agate in 14k gold and welding on a coiled serpent with diamond and pearl accents on the top

The gargoyle holds a glistening diamond in its mouth

there is a small indentation on the reverse and loss to the nacre of two pearls (visible under magnification)

It is 30 inches long and in very good condition

The serpent's head is accented with a demantoid garnet and we added a matching demantoid garnet surmounts above the snake dangles
