The design features two intricately modelled snake heads facing in opposite directions, with their bodies winding around the finger to create a striking double-wrap effect. Each head has carefully defined eyes, facial features and textured scales, while the detailed pattern continues along the coiled bodies. The combination of polished yellow gold and recessed detailing gives the ring wonderful depth and character, allowing the craftsmanship to stand out beautifully.
Weighing a substantial 15.3 grams, this is a particularly impressive example with a reassuringly solid feel. The ring incorporates a D-shaped band measuring approximately 3.5mm wide and 2mm deep, providing a smooth, comfortable fit against the finger while retaining the strength and substance of the design.
The ring is a generous Size S½, making it an excellent choice for someone looking for a larger statement ring. The inside of the band bears the SJR Makers Mark, attributed to S J Rose & Son, alongside additional hallmarks. These markings are a lovely detail, offering a connection to the craftsmanship and history behind the piece.
