A bold antique ring from 1906, designed as a sculptural wrap-around snake crafted in 18 karat gold and assayed in Chester, England. The sinuous form coils elegantly around the finger, embodying the serpent’s enduring symbolism of eternity, transformation, and protection—motifs especially beloved in late Victorian and early 20th-century jewelry.
The face of the ring measures 0.5 inches north to south and weighs 12.23 grams, offering a significant and well-balanced feel on the hand. It is presented in great antique condition, with details crisp and surfaces well preserved.
Currently a size 11, the ring may be marginally resized for an additional charge.
Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 18K gold construction. A powerful and highly collectible example of antique serpent jewelry with English assay provenance.
