"The serpent is a symbol of wisdom, life and eternity, so it&amp;#x27;s not surprising the iconic, purple-eyed beauty Elizabeth Taylor was linked with the creature. First worn as an armband on the set of Cleopatra in the 1960s, Ms. Taylor took to wearing the serpent on the red carpet, too. Her beloved Bulgari bangle, a gift from Richard Burton, was a cherished and oft seen accessory decorating her wrist. The bracelet, which came adorned with enamel, rubies, diamonds and emerald eyes, slipped away as the years went on and her public appearances lessened. With her passing, Bulgari reissued a one-of-a-kind, emerald-eyed serpent bangle to resurrect the rich, historic accessory with modern sensibilities. While the piece is no longer available, having sold to an unnamed buyer, Kenneth Jay Lane has created an inspired-by piece for QVC. Tory Burch also does her take on the classic piece with her stacked snake bangle. These serpent bracelets may not be a love token from Richard Burton, but they are a stylish homage to Elizabeth Taylor and her great beauty.
