Antique Diamond 18k Gold Snake Ring

$3,100.00

Description

DATE: Antique, c.1919

This antique piece is a stunning example of the snake/serpent ring. Modelled in 18 karat gold throughout, it features English hallmarks dating it to the year 1919. This one is lovely and chunky, and the snake wraps around your finger three whole times, and its head and tail meet in the centre. Its head is set with an old cut diamond "brain", and it displays great sparkle within its detailed setting. Historically, the serpent/snake has been a potent symbol of fertility, and, through the periodical shedding of their skin, represent re-birth, immortality, and healing- but they also look pretty badass.
