very V I N T A G E // third time around / 10k yellow gold with diamond and ruby snake ring / size 10.25-10.75

an extremely special coiled serpent that's somewhere between art nouveau and art deco elegance, and my estimate would be that this dates to the 1940s this sweet serpent strikes a balance between sturdy, significant, dainty, and whimsical, which is no small design challenge the hand engraved scale details have the perfect amount of wear, the diamond shaped white gold setting is beautifully softened original ruby eyes, replacement focal diamond solid 10k gold M E A S U R E M E N T S  this is a wider band, which means it will fit smaller than it measures on a mandrel. it measures size 10.75, but the narrowest part of the band is 7mm wide, so I would guess that this fits more like a size 10.25 weighs 5.1g diamond is 3mm wide C O N D I T I O N  in good vintage condition the ruby eyes are original and may have minor surface wear, but don't have major chips or cracks there is softening to the design details, but they aren't very worn the diamond is a new replacement for an old peridot stone t
