About the Item
Our 18K snake ring is studded with a round diamond on its head and is crafted of a rich yellow gold. The richness of the gold-work is a feature of this ring. Note how the goldsmith cleverly weaved the gold tail so it comes up just so around the snake's head. The snake's body is delicately incised to suggest the texture of snakeskin. The stylized eyes set in short cylinders of gold; each house a small circular diamond, securely embedded within.
Snake rings became popular in England when Queen Victoria received an emerald snake ring as her engagement ring from Prince Albert. Snake rings were equally popular among both men and women. The ring is a size 5.5 but could be enlarged a size of 2 by a skilled jeweler.
The model photo shows this ring on the pinky finger of the hand.
All the snake rings on the model's hand are currently published on First Dibs.
