A striking antique snake coil ring crafted in solid 18ct yellow gold and set with a row of original old-cut diamonds.
The ring features a classic coiled serpent design, with the body wrapping elegantly around the finger to form a broad 8mm band. The head is set with matching old-cut natural diamonds totalling approximately 0.30ct, each displaying the soft, individual character associated with antique hand-cut stones.
Fully hallmarked for 18ct gold at the Chester Assay Office, this is an authentic period piece with excellent weight and presence. Snake rings were traditionally associated with eternity, devotion and enduring love, making this a particularly meaningful antique design.
Weighing 6.1 grams and measuring a UK size Q, the ring has been carefully preserved without over-polishing, allowing its original surface character and history to remain visible.
