Jewellery Extravaganza and Memorabilia
A vintage yellow gold serpent ring crafted in a bypass design, depicting a tightly coiled snake. The body and head of the serpent feature a highly textured, diamond-cut or pyramidal pattern intended to simulate scales, lending the piece a distinctive, tactile finish. The tail forms the plain, polished section of the shank. The head of the snake is set with a single, small, round-cut ruby, serving as the eye, displaying an intense magenta hue. This style is characteristic of late Victorian or early 20th-century jewelry revival pieces. Indistinct hallmarks or maker’s marks are visible on the interior of the shank, consistent with gold purity marks, though they are currently illegible.
