Snake - Wholeness Medallion Holder
Description
The word “vertu” is the love of or taste for collectible objects or fine objects of art. The Snake Bedside Necklace Stand was hand sculpted in New York and then hand-cast from solid brass by the Werkstatte Carl Auböck. The Werkstatte Carl Auböck has been operating in the same studio since 1908 in Vienna, Austria and their piece have earned cult status among collectors.First collaborating in 2021 with our classic snake bookends, Beth and Carl were inspired by Beth's love for antique pocket watch stands. These multipurpose stands serve as a sculpture but with a singular utilitarian purpose. They were typically placed bedside so that way a person’s pocket watch was visible at a glance, didn’t get misplaced, and stayed safe and clean. They were inspired to create their own bedside stand for necklaces for the same purpose. Useful, beautiful, meaningful and storied; Just the kind of thing to rest your eyes on as you drift off to sleep.
Each piece is hand-cast from solid brass using the same traditional “lost wax” method of casting that FoundRae utilizes; making one piece at a time.

Care Instructions
HOW TO CARE FOR THIS PIECE?
The biggest danger to enamel is cracking due to the impact of dropping it on hard surfaces. Wrap enamel jewelry in a soft cloth before storing to prevent the glass enamel from sustaining chips or scratches from your other jewelry. If damage occurs, we will gladly repair the piece for you, feel free to email us at clientcare@foundrae.com or call us at +1 (844)-731-0808.
HOW TO CLEAN THIS PIECE?
Shine enamel with a microfiber cloth and lukewarm water. Apply makeup, perfume and hair spray before putting on jewelry, and do not wear your gold or enameled pieces in a swimming pool. Chlorine can damage gold, causing it to pit or become brittle. Gold pieces can be polished by your local jeweler.
