DATE: Victorian, c.1900

Incredible Victorian coiled snake ring, body formed from a tube of fine gold mesh which gives it both flexibility and the look of scales. The head is beautifully detailed with hand-engraved cross-hatching beneath, and fine textures to the top - set with garnet cabochon eyes and featuring the obligatory cheesy snake grin. It's crafted in 9 karat yellow gold throughout, and will comfortably fit any finger size between approx. 4.5 and 11 US.
