Description
The Victorian-era serpent motif gives this 18K yellow gold ring a singular presence. The reptile's body delicately coils to form a structured and openwork double band. The serpent's head is set with a natural, untreated, old-cut diamond. Weighing approximately 0.4 carats, this gem displays an estimated colour H and an estimated clarity SI2. The sculptural work on the 18K yellow gold highlights the curves of the serpentine body resting on the double hoop. The piece bears the 'tête d'aigle' hallmark, the French guarantee for 750‰ gold. The ring weighs 7.3 g and its finger size is 66. We offer complimentary resizing to adapt this piece of jewellery to your hand. During the Victorian period (1837–1901), jewellery saw a marked enthusiasm for sentimental pieces and animal figures. The serpent held a central place, often chosen as a symbol of eternal love and attachment.
