Victorian Turquoise Snake Pinky Ring

A wonderful ring from the Victorian period, c1870s. The ring is made from solid 18ct gold and has been made in the shape of an entwined snake. The snake has beautiful boggly eyes and has a lovely natural turquoise set into the head. The turquoise is a pretty pear shape and follows the line of the snake’s head. The body of the snake seems to create an infinity knot and this is a lovely, romantic piece.

There would have been a little dangling heart hanging from the snake’s mouth, though this has been lost over time. The jump ring is in tact and something could be added if required.
