Belle Epoque 18ct Gold Wide Coily Snake Ring set with a Ruby

309T
160 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A beautiful 18ct gold open coiled snake ring that can can be worn by either sex. It is such a sinuous look and has been set with a cabochon ruby in it’s head. The body has continuous incised lines. Snake designs in jewellery were really popular from the Georgian period onwards. The snake motif represented “Eternal love and wisdom”, so pieces such as this ring would have been a gift from an admirer. It was imported in to France circa 1900-1910.
