Circa 1880’s, this stunningly rare 14K yellow, rose, and green gold serpent, sparkling with .20ct diamond, coils beautifully around your finger. This Victorian ring is quite unusual; and rare featuring the rose, yellow, and green gold. The tail of this slithering ring is made of green gold. Green gold, also known as electrum, is an alloy of gold and silver, with trace amounts of copper and other metals. The silver content gives it a subtle green or yellow-green tint. It occurs naturally in the Earth's crust. Snakes and serpents have been used as symbols in traditional folklore and jewelry to symbolize eternal love and commitment. A stunning antique cocktail ring! These Victorian-era finger jewels were made popular by the trendsetting Queen Victoria when the unconventional Prince Albert presented her with such a ring upon their betrothal. While the Queen's was set with rubies, diamonds, and an emerald (her birthstone), this version of the sinuous reptile gleams with a variety of rose-cut and old mine-cut diamonds. Very Victorian, very cool. 14Kt 4.40 Grams .20ct Diamond VS2 H This ring is a size 4.75 and can be sized prior to shipping for a fee.
