Some gorgeous Whiting and Davis mesh Snake bangles $95 each and a Snake belt $145.
The first Whiting & Davis mesh purse was made in 1892. A tiny 8cm square, it had a simple twist closure.
In the late 1800s the mediaeval look was all the rage, so chainmail-like coin purses that attached to a chatelaine were stylish accessories for Victorian ladies.
The patent for the snake bracelet was lodged in January 1902 and at least one version of the Whiting & Davis snake bracelet was available for sale as fine jewellery.
