A gorgeous bobbly-eyed snake ring from the late Victorian period. The ring is made from solid silver and is marked with the word ‘Solid’ on the inside of the shank. The ‘d’ of the word is missing, likely from a previous re-sizing, though this is the only evidence of this. The snake is a simple design with the head crossing over past the curled tail. It has little balls of silver to represent the eyes and an endearing, simple face.
Details:
Materials - Silver (tested)
Age - Victorian
Size - The ring is around 8mm wide at the top narrowing to 3.5mm at the back of the shank.
Ring Size - UK K ½ US 5 ¾ This ring could be resized a little.
Condition - Very good. Evidence of possible previous gilding around the edges, though the appearance of the ring is silver overall.
Weight - 2.1g
