Victorian 14K Yellow Gold Blue Enamel Smiling Snake Ring Moving Flower Antique

  
Victorian 14K Yellow Gold Blue Green Enamel Smiling Snake Ring Moving Flower Antique. Fashioned as a snake, a symbol of wisdom and protection, wrapped around wearer's finger.

Set all around with cobalt blue enamel, with meticulously handcrafted cloisonne spots set with emerald-green enamel. MOVING (left to right) thong is crafted in a shape of a flower with prong-set pinkish red ruby. Exquisite craftsmanship, beautiful design, one of a kind ring. The ring is in excellent vintage condition with very minor wear on the enamel that is only detectable upon close inspection - there is a thinning (no chips) at the back / shank (facing the palm), and thinning on the nose of the snake.

This marvelous ring can be worn along or grouped with other rings from our store. In addition to symbolizing wisdom and protection, snakes also have a profound symbolic significance in science, medicine and healing. The snake, which periodically molts, or sheds its skin, is a symbol of healing, regeneration and renewal. In ancient Greece snakes, which move about without any visible means of support or locomotion, were considered to be the wisest and cleverest of all animals.

Size: 6, the size of this ring can be reduced with sizing balls but the size can't be increased. Approximate measurements: the ring is 17 mm wide at the center, tapers to 5 mm at the center of the shank. Stamped 14K, hallmarked with designer's stamp MADW..
