Crafted in 1879, this antique 18ct gold snake ring showcases a bright, sparkling 0.30ct (approx.) old mine cut diamond, nestled in the head of a coiled serpent. The ouroboros design (where the snake’s head meets its tail) symbolises infinity and enduring connection. Measuring 7.5mm at the front and tapering to 6.5mm at the back, it offers a bold yet wearable profile.
Fully hallmarked in Birmingham, this Victorian treasure features the maker’s mark F&P and the date letter ‘e’ for 1879. Weighing 5.47g.
The ring remains in excellent condition, with only a discreet sign of past re-sizing on the inside of the band - a slim soldered section that does not affect its appearance, durability, or wear.
