Rare Antique Victorian Snake Ring Turquoise eyes with locket compartment, circa 1841 / Victorian Snake Locket Ring
Amazing!!! I am totally in love with this ring.....
This Victorian Snake Ring is crafted in 14k Rose Gold and set with genuine Turquoises as eyes and on the head. The face of the snake is very gorgeous, but what makes it even more charming is that it has a small compartment under the ring for special keepsake. It could be opened by just a needle, see last pic. I have seen a few locket rings in the market and most of them the locket covers were missing. It is very rare to find one in such a great condition, especially in snake motif!!!
The condition of this peice is very good considered it is over 170 years old. All stones original without any sign of repair. The patina of gold is very warm, rosy and buttery. Turquoise discolouration is normal for genuine Turquoises, so some are more green others are more blue. This adds to the beauty and authenticity of this ring.
This ring is a genuine antique from Victorian era, inside the band inscribed with a date "12 Decbr. 1841" and also in the locket compartment " Br. R"
The compartment locket is currently empty.
Ring Size: US6.25-6.5
Weight :4.1g
Material: not marked, but tested and guaranteed as 14K
