Daily eBay – Whiting & Davis snake necklace

Following an obsession with overly minimalist silver jewellery during the nineties, yellow gold tones have long since been the metal of choice. However, silver seems to be creeping its way back onto the fashion radar, in the form of chunky, slightly gothic pieces. This vintage Whiting & Davis, mesh, snake necklace is a glamourous way to wean yourself back onto some silver sparkle. Amiee Jones picks today’s Daily eBay.

Famed for its innovative use of mesh and chain mail in both bags and jewels, Whiting & Davis pieces remain both covetable and elegant, in a world where accessories speak volumes. Established in 1876, the label is still as relevant today as it always was, evident in the undeniable appeal of this stunning necklace.

American stylist, Rachel Zoe, is a well known collector of snake jewellery, winding them around her wrists and wearing knuckle sized serpent rings on her fingers. There is something rather exotic and cleopatra-like about the design, which high-street giant Topshop have recently re-created to far less beautiful effect.

The mesh necklace is fastened by the snake’s head clipping onto any point of the body, meaning it’s easily adjustable and can be worn as a choker or longer style necklace. The perfect accompaniment to a little black cocktail dress, it would also look striking against a pared down, daytime outfit. Let it stand alone as your only accessory to give it the limelight it surely deserves.

Bidding starts at £19.97 and ends 27th September.
