Georgian Ruby-Eyed Diamond Snake Ring

$2,950

These diamond-studded serpents from the early 1800s are nearly impossible to find. This one's a cousin to the snake ring that led me to fall in love with Georgian jewelry (and I still regret not buying it for myself.) 19 rose cut diamonds in silver, a curled tail, and ruby eyes in gold settings. Eternity anthropomorphized.
