This exquisite antique snake ring is a rare and remarkable example of Edwardian craftsmanship, fully hallmarked for Chester in 1905. Modelled in rich 18ct yellow gold, the ring features a beautifully detailed twin-serpent design – a powerful symbol of eternal love, loyalty, and rebirth.
Timeless Elegance & Fine Detail
Each serpent head is individually set with a precious stone – one with a charming old-cut diamond, the other with a vivid natural sapphire, both measuring approximately 2.5mm. The sculptural quality is superb: from the raised gold eyes and subtly open mouths to the elegant coil of the tails, the ring displays the finest attention to detail.
A Glorious Piece to Wear or Collect
This substantial and beautifully balanced ring is as wearable today as it was over a century ago. Whether worn as a personal talisman, a symbol of enduring affection, or a statement of style, it is a jewel to treasure.
