French Romantic era diamond serpent ring, circa 1850
This French Romantic-era serpent ring, dating to circa 1850, is crafted in 18k solid gold and set with rose-cut diamonds.
The exaggeratedly large serpent head is adorned with a rose-cut diamond weighing approximately 1 carat, drawing attention to the prominent centerpiece. In contrast, the slender and smoothly polished serpent body forms the ring band, creating a playful juxtaposition. This striking proportional contrast gives the "big-headed" serpent a charming and whimsical character, making it a lively and unique example of serpent-themed jewelry.
The ring is in good antique condition, showing typical signs of oxidation and wear consistent with age. As condition assessments are subjective, please click and enlarge our photos to view additional details for your evaluation.
