Antique Victorian Gold Ring “King Cobra” Snake Serpent- 1.6ct Rose Cut Diamond

I am pleased to offer from my private collection this astonishing antique Victorian King Cobra Snake hand engraved solid 9k gold ring. The ring is decorated with 1.6ct top quality snow white old Rose Cut natural Diamond.

It sparkles like crazy! The sparkle of old cut diamonds is deeper and warmer compare to the modern cut diamonds, almost glowing in a way that draws the eye into the stone instead of bouncing the light back out. This makes old cut diamonds star performers in candlelight and other low light settings.

The diamond is really huge is size- 8 x 6.3 mm ! A really amazing stone! Incomparable in beauty! The snake head is decorated with Rubies in the eyes.

Excellent original condition!  Large men size 11 7.33grams heavy. Hallmarked with the Victorian British hallmarks for 9k gold.  

The ring comes with an APPRAISAL CERTIFICATE FOR 12,000.00

SNAKE JEWELRY HISTORY: Serpents are one of the most ancient and widespread of mythological symbols – just look at Egyptian and Chinese mythology. This is perhaps why snakes are so often represented in jewellery, their rope-like bodies fascinating and perfectly fitted to being a coiled necklace, stylish bracelet or banded ring. The symbolism of the snake dates back thousands of years, and many civilisations have interpreted the creature to represent any number of things: good, evil, rebirth, poison, fertility, death. While there are historically some negative connotations to the serpent, there is plenty of evidence that points to positive cultural meanings as well.  Ancient Egyptians used the serpent to represent royalty and even deity. In Hinduism, the creature represents desire and sexual passion. The Romans took the symbol to mean everlasting love. In ancient Chinese mythology, it was believed that the snake had close relations with the gods and that they were able to prolong one’s life. The creature was considered to be a symbol of reproduction and good luck.The Victorian era brought snake jewellery into the limelight after Prince Albert proposed to Queen Victoria with a ring in the image of a snake featuring an emerald-set head. The Queen pronounced the snake to be a figure of eternal love. Reaching eminence in the 1840s, the serpent represented eternity and wisdom during this period and was a widespread motif on brooches, pendants, rings, bracelets and all sorts of ornamental accessories….
