Piece of the Week: Eriness’ ‘Snake Coil’ Necklace
Join Eriness’ garden party with this emerald-eyed snake.
Eriness’ “Snake Coil” necklace in 14-karat yellow gold with two emerald eyes and diamonds totaling 0.93 carats ($4,695)
Snakes have always been a popular motif in jewelry trends, especially recently, with Eriness’ “Snake Coil” necklace following suit.
The piece depicts a 14-karat yellow gold snake with two emeralds for eyes coiling around a circle of pavé diamonds, totaling 0.93 carats.
Part of Eriness’ new “Garden Party” collection, this necklace is a collaboration between the brand’s designer Erin Sachse and her childhood mentor, Ashleigh Bergman of Milestones by AB.
Together, they designed this piece to reflect their personal styles and celebrate the whimsical charm of a garden soirée, said the brand.
Bergman brought the idea of a snake, while Sachse added the pavé diamonds that are a staple of her brand.
“The ‘Snake Coil’ was first designed as a ring, but we felt like this powerful piece needed to be created into an amulet,” said Sachse.
“To me, this piece gives off confidence and has its own timelessness to it.”
