Vintage Sapphire Diamond 18 Karat Yellow Gold Platinum Snake Ring, Circa 1960

About the Item

A vintage sapphire and diamond 18 karat yellow gold and platinum snake ring, circa 1960. This exceptional ring is designed as a pair of snakes, both excellently hand carved, one head being set with a round cut deep blue sapphire of 0.15 carats approximately with a single cut diamond accent either side, the other head being set with an old cut diamond of 0.25 carats approximately together with its side stone diamonds. Partially stamped 'PLAT' to the outside of the reverse of the ring. Snake are a timeless motif in jewellery as a result of the entwined snake ring that Queen Victoria received when she was engaged to Prince Albert, her particular ring being set to its centre with her birthstone - an emerald. The ring took its inspiration from the Romans who believed that the continuous snake signified everlasting love. The ring is currently a UK finger size P (USA size 8) but can be re-sized for a perfect fit. Condition - Overall the condition of the ring is good, with some abrasions to the surface of the gold in keeping with its general age, one of the single cut diamond accents to the side of the sapphire set snake head is chipped. However this is only noticeable under a 10 x magnification - so is not visible to the naked eye.
