Whiting Davis .. A tribute to beautiful jewelry and accessories

Egyptian revival jewelry at its best
Exotic Whiting and Davis Snake bracelet. VERY Egyptian revival
 The brand's iconic snake is estimated to have made its first appearance in the late 1890s - a delicate bracelet crafted in sterling silver. Throughout the years, Whiting & Davis continued to design the snake motif into their fine and fashion jewelry with earrings, bracelets and necklaces. One of Whiting & Davis' most rare designs is a circa 1910, double-headed snake bracelet that had been hand enameled by the skilled craftsmen at the company. 
Whiting  and Davis LARGE Baroque CUFF Bracelet
  In 1903 when Edward Davis patented new technology to improve the hinged bracelet, using two hinges on each side so a woman could open and close with ease. The bracelet featured seamless hinges and a spring, rather than a clasp which was popular at the time. 
Whiting DAVIS Silver mesh Purse
By 1896, Charles Whiting partnered with Edward Davis and the name Whiting & Davis was born. With the same drive that transformed metal mesh into fashion, Charles Whiting led the brand into the Twentieth Century - handbags introduced anywhere from 1896 to 1935 continue to be highly sought after styles today by collectors . 
Since 1876, this company has made some of the most beautiful and exotic jewelry and accessories. You can own one and see the beauty when you go to my store HERE

Snake Jewelry.... Not as scary as you think

CHeck out this Vintage Snake Parure Bracelet necklace belt rhinestone eyes Egyptian goddess






What a fabulous set that is all original to each other! The bracelet belt and necklace all have red rhinestone eyes in these fabulous creatures!  Rich patina gives this set a russian gold plate feel to it. The nice thing about the set is that you can wear some pieces in more than one way as seen on the arm in the photo. The belt measures up to 40" when closed, the necklace measures 20" when closed and the bracelet will fit most any wrist. It has a very good tight coil to it. You are getting all three.

Antique Bookchain bracelet / Victorian bracelet / Edwardian Earrings / Crown rhinestone / renaissance revival / Vintage costume jewelry


This wide 3 coil vintage snake bracelet is identical to the Whiting and Davis one so I would guess it was a piece they made and jobbed out to another company. It is a very good quality piece that has 3 very wide coils. The bracelet will fit most any wrist due to the flexible design . The smallest it is when not worn is 2 1/4" in diameter. Could be worn on the upper arm as well as the wrist. This looks as if it has never been worn and is in fabulous condition. The goddess in your will appreciate having this serpent protect her. You can see it HERE on GOANTIQUES
