Estate Opal Snake Ring (Size 7.25)

If it ain't broke...! We love this contemporary take on an antique mainstay, a sweet serpent coiled around your finger - complete with a wee opal on her noggin. Textured scales add the the depth and dimension of this lightweight and easy to stack piece.

Snakes were a favourite motif of the Victorian era, particularly after ol' Vicky started to sport a coiled snake ring in honour of her engagement to Prince Philip. Representing passion and everlasting love, they are also a good reminder of sloughing off that which no longer fits you, and of being adaptable and open to growth.

The ring is in overall very good estate condition. Hot tip - we managed two get a pair of two of these and love the idea of them for dual engagement rings, friendship rings, sisters' rings, or more!
