Antique Snake Ring All Original Size 13
About the Item
Spectacular and rare: this 19th-century snake ring was created by hand-pulled gold wire which was pounded flat, coiled, fused and engraved with rich detailing. A small diamond set inside a chunky silver bezel forms the crown of the snake. This thin ring (.98mm) is so meticulously detailed and extraordinarily fine. I'm dating it as an early Victorian piece -circa 1850- but it may well be an older Georgian ring.
Remarkably, the ring is not dented, torn, or damaged in any way. In fact, the ring has never been resized. It was created as a size 13 ring and has remained ever since only the fingers of gentlemen with a size 13 finger.
This is a very rare and beautiful ring that astonishes with the power of skilled understatement.
