A striking and chunky 1940s coiled snake ring. The ring is crafted in 18k yellow gold and detailed with a meticulously engraved crosshatch pattern. Designed as a single, fluid serpent, this piece wraps the finger in a three-tier coil that sits comfortably on the hand. The snake's head is inset with a brilliant Old European cut diamond weighing approximately 1.00 carat (estimated I color, SI1 clarity), perfectly accented by two natural ruby eyes. A refined matte, satin finish adds a layer of sophisticated beauty to the goldwork. Combining the historic symbolism of eternal love and wisdom inherent to the snake motif with the bold proportions of the mid-20th century, this ring offers effortless everyday chic. The ring remains overall in great condition.
