Handmade 18k Gold 1.97ctw Old Pear Cut Diamond Serpent Snake Wrap Ring

Some rings are beautiful. Others have a presence about them.
Handmade in a substantial 12.54 grams of solid 18k yellow gold, this extraordinary serpent wraps around the finger, its body beautifully engraved with a scale-like pattern before rising to hold an incredible 1.97ct old pear-cut natural diamond. That diamond is something special.
An old antique GIA certified pear cut that has the softer proportions, individual facet pattern and flashes of fire that we love in older diamonds. Bezel set into the serpent's head, it feels almost as though the diamond belongs there - rather than simply being added to it. The serpent itself is one of jewellery's oldest and most enduring motifs. Worn for centuries as a symbol of eternity, transformation, rebirth and renewal, it makes this piece feel particularly powerful: a ring to mark a new chapter, a becoming, or simply to wear because nothing else looks quite like it. 
Unusual. Symbolic. A little wild. And completely unforgettable.
