(SOLD) Antique Victorian Era Gold and Diamond Snake Ring
(SOLD) Antique Victorian Era Gold and Diamond Snake Ring
The Victorians and Edwardians were mad for snake jewelry — ever since Prince Albert revived an age old fascination with snake adornment when presented Queen Victoria with a snake ring for their engagement.
We found this beauty in Paris — and admired it for its sleek elegance. A slender, coiling body wraps twice, with plenty of negative space, creating volume, with a sense of airiness.
The texture of scales is still visible in glimpses; in other high touch areas, the gold has acquired a smooth, satiny finish, from years of loving wear. We love this!
A single old mine cut diamond set in platinum graces the head of the snake for white sparkle.
Marked with French owl.
18k gold, diamond.
Dimensions and weight:
● 11.9 mm long
● Diamond .10 ct
● US size 7.5
● 5.9 grams
Period: Victorian
*Please note that all dimensions and weights are approximate. Age-commensurate wear may be present.
