1970s Modernist Snake Ring
ON HOLD - Balance payment - Ultra-chic modernist serpent ring hailing from 1970s Italy - the fashion capital of the world, at the time. Built in 18ct gold, it's set with a large blue sapphire 'brain' and three ice-white diamonds running down its spine. The snake coils twice around the finger, its tail ending up in line with the head. It's beautifully made, as Italian jewellery from the period usually was, and the minimalist styling is impeccable.

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved, often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
