Description

DATE: Antique, c.1900

A fantastic antique snake ring, French made and dating to circa 1900. The band is formed from the snakes body, which coils round the finger two times, while the head and tail are intertwined, finely looping round one another. Set with an old cut diamond "brain" and striking ruby eyes, it features fine snakeskin engraving. It's crafted in 18k yellow gold throughout, and features French marks to the outer band. A lovely example of the well known "snake ring".
