The Snake Symbol:

Dating back to a bit before the kingdom of Cleopatra (Cleopatra VII Philopator was Queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt from 51 to 30 BC, and its last active ruler),  snake-shaped jewels have been worn fashionably on the wrists of women. Originally from the Hellenistic period, serpent-shaped bracelets, a symbol of fecundity and immortality, were universally recognized in antiquity. These jewels were quickly propagated in the Augustinian era in memory of the splendour and refinement of Oriental life embodied by the figure of Cleopatra.

In ancient Egypt, the symbol of the serpent was linked to the cult of the goddess Isis and also referred to the protective uraeus of the pharaohs. History does not specify it clearly, but it could eventually be conceived as a discreet homage to the most beautiful woman in the world, that Cleopatra, the last queen of Egypt, would die from the bite of a snake.
