WHITING & DAVIS SNAKE BELT

Founded in 1876 in Massachusetts, Whiting & Davis became world-renowned for their intricate metal mesh handbags, but also created exquisite jewellery and accessories. Snake-themed designs were a favourite from the late Victorian era through to the 1970s, inspired by ancient Egyptian and Victorian symbolism where serpents represented eternity and rebirth. Crafted from their signature slinky mesh, these belts combined jewellery-making skill with wearable art, making them coveted among collectors today.

This stunning vintage Whiting & Davis snake belt gleams in rich gold mesh, its detailed serpent head set with amber glass eyes. Measuring 94 cm in belt length (excluding head and tail), it wraps fluidly around the waist for a perfect fit. A mesmerising piece of fashion history from the masters of mesh, blending elegance, symbolism, and timeless style. Highly sought after by vintage enthusiasts and jewellery collectors alike, it’s a wearable treasure that continues to captivate decades after it was made.

These can also be worn as a grand statement necklace.
