.06 Antique Victorian Diamond Snake Cocktail Ring 18k

This Antique Victorian coiled snake cocktail ring is made from 18 karat yellow gold with a .06 carat grey natural diamond set in the snake's head. Grey diamonds were popular during the Victorian period for their unusual, smoky appearance that differs from traditional white diamonds.

The snake motif held symbolic meaning in Victorian jewelry, representing eternal love and wisdom. The coiled design wraps around the finger, creating dimension and visual interest from every angle. At .06 carats, the diamond provides an accent rather than dominating the design, keeping the focus on the sculptural gold work. The 18 karat gold has developed the rich patina typical of Victorian-era pieces.
