About the Item

This is a museum quality antique Egyptian Revival Opal Snake Phoenix Bird Ring. The antique ring has a central hexagonal Opal cabochon of great beauty. The Opal is set in 10 Karat Gold. The opal is framed by two entwined snakes or stunning renditions of a winged Phoenix bird. The gold is a beautiful warm yellow 10 Karat Gold. It is very rare to find opals in the early antique Egyptian Revival jewels, and the combination with the snakes is extraordinary. The ring dates to circa 1860-1920. For centuries, Ancient Egypt has held the fascination of the public and continues to inspire artists and designers alike. With the discoveries of Egyptian tombs, and the treasures within, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the exotically opulent lives of the Pharaohs were beyond anyone’s imagination. Of all the precious objects unearthed in the tombs, the lavish jewels were perhaps the most fascinating for their extravagance and never-before-seen symbolism. The Roaring Twenties and the period’s Art Deco jewelry embraced the vivid contrasting colors, motifs, and symbols more daringly than ever before. Whether the jewels were complete, faithful reproductions or real artifacts preciously decorated in similar style, the Egyptian Revival jewelry during the Art Deco era is the most lavish and magnificent. The ring is a size 5.25 US and can be easily resized if desired. The ring is 10 Karat Gold. The ring weighs 2.2 grams.
