Hong Kong-based jewelry designer Chantel Shafie has released an eye-catching snake emblem necklace, featuring a diamond-encrusted 24K pure gold pendant. This unique piece showcases a coiled snake forming the number "8," a symbol of good fortune in Chinese culture. Surrounded by vibrant floral motifs representing the four seasons in Hong Kong—cotton tree for spring, lotus for summer, red flowers for autumn, and camellias for winter—the design celebrates nature’s beauty while bringing prosperity for the year ahead.
Meanwhile, Bvlgari’s iconic Serpenti collection, celebrating 75 years of luxury, continues to captivate jewelry lovers worldwide. The collection includes watches, rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, all infused with dazzling diamonds and golden finishes, evoking the hypnotic beauty of the serpent.
Not to be outdone, Tiffany & Co. is also unveiling bold new snake-inspired designs, including a ruby pendant from the Lock collection and a sleek new addition to Elsa Peretti’s Serpentine line, making it clear that snake jewelry is both a fashion statement and a symbol of opulence.
These captivating pieces aren't just for collectors—they represent luxury, good fortune, and the elegant transformation that the new year brings. Whether you’re celebrating the Lunar New Year or simply indulging in a timeless design, snake-inspired jewelry is taking center stage in 2025.
