This extraordinary antique Georgian / early Victorian statement ring is crafted in a distinctive combination of 14k yellow gold and sterling silver and showcases an elaborate snake motif rich with symbolism and period detail. At the center rests an impressive 5.60 carat faceted oval cut garnet secured within a bezel setting, its deep color creating a dramatic focal point. A beautifully sculpted snake curves around the garnet, encircling the center stone with its sinuous form and featuring two garnet cabochons as its eyes. The surrounding frame is further embellished with blue and gold star enamel accents and finished with intricate hand-crimped edges, adding exceptional texture and old-world character to the design. Hidden beneath the ring is a keepsake compartment designed to hold a personal memento such as a lock of hair. Bold, symbolic, and remarkably detailed, this antique snake ring is an exceptional example of Victorian jewelry craftsmanship and a fascinating collector's piece. The ring is a size 6.75 and can be professionally sized for the perfect fit.
