Description
The intertwined snake motif characterises this antique Victorian-era ring (1837–1901). Crafted in 18K yellow gold, it stands out with its sculpted top featuring three reptile heads that coil to form a body composed of three parallel bands. The ring is adorned with an old-cut natural ruby weighing approximately 0.5 carat, untreated. An old-cut diamond also complements the setting on one of the snake heads, adding a touch of clear brilliance. The precious metal bears the 'tête d'aigle' hallmark, the French guarantee for 750‰ gold. This jewel weighs 13.39 g and its ring size is 61; resizing is offered. During the Victorian era, the snake motif was particularly prevalent in jewellery creation, cherished as a symbol of eternity and devotion following the jewel offered by Prince Albert to Queen Victoria.
