Incredible 18K Gold & Diamond Enameled Coiled Snake Ring
Regular price
$1,576.80
Presented is a very unique, 18 karat and enameled ring made in Italy. The ring is in the form of a snake with his mouth open. The whole piece is beautifully enameled over a textured gold surface. The snake’s eyes are set with small diamonds. The ring is a size 6 3/4 and because of the enameled surface, the ring cannot be resized. This piece was probably made during the 1970s or 1980s.
The underside of the snake’s head is marked Italy and 18K.
This piece is in great overall condition. There is some loss of enamel on the snake’s body but because the overlaying enamel is translucent and shows the texture of the gold underneath, the loss of enamel is not very noticeable. There are no other damages and no repairs.
The ring is a size 6 3/4 and it weighs 17.7 grams.
