Sinuous Channel Snake Band

We love this contemporary take on an antique mainstay, a sweet serpent coiled around your finger - complete with a cascade of diamonds down her back and in her eyes. Textured scales add the the depth and dimension of this lightweight and easy to stack piece. Snakes were a favourite motif of the Victorian era, particularly after Queen Victoria started to sport a coiled snake ring in honour of her engagement to Prince Philip. Representing passion and everlasting love, they are also a good reminder of sloughing off that which no longer fits you, and of being adaptable and open to growth. Very good vintage condition with wear in line with previous use. c1990s. Originally manufactured in the US.
