Antique diamond snake ring

The snake motif has been seen in jewellery as far back as Roman times and represented an eternal love. Indeed Queen Victoria's own engagement ring was a snake ring set with rubies, emeralds and diamonds, and as she was so influential in fashion and design in the 19th century, she would have no doubt influenced other people to wear snake rings such as this charming 15ct gold diamond set antique snake ring made in the 1890's. The sensual and tactile look and feel to this ring is just wonderful as is the detail of the two diamonds in the eyes. Further highlighted with three more European cut diamonds, the five diamonds come together to total 0.24 carats. The sparkle form the diamonds really highlights and accentuates this ring and the design alone will no doubt make it such a wonderful talking point. Measuring around 15mm wide at its widest section to 5.3mm wide at the back, and combined with all the charm of eternal love, there is little doubt that this antique diamond snake ring will always be loved and admired every time that it is worn.   Stock# ES7475 Circa: 1890 $Sold.
