About the Item
Vintage Sapphire Diamond 18 Karat Yellow Gold Snake Ring, Circa 1970
This charming snake ring, coils twice around the finger of the wearer.
Excellently crafted as a realistically modelled snake and grain set with rose cut diamond eyes of 0.02 carat and finished with a bezel set oval cut sapphire of 1.05 carat of deep royal blue colour to the top of its head. With a plain polished finish.
Width: 15mm at the widest point
The ring is currently a UK finger size Q 1/2 (USA size 8.25) but can be re-sized for a perfect fit.
Whilst the use of the snake motif in jewellery has been around since the Ancient Greek civilisation, it really came into its own during the Victorian era.
It was Queen Victoria herself who bought snake jewellery to the forefront when she was presented with a snake engagement ring set with her birthstone an emerald by her husband-to-be, Prince Albert.
The Victorians associated the snake motif with eternal love.
Condition - Overall the condition of the ring is very good, with some abrasions to the surface of the gold in keeping with its general age
