Unisex Antique Coiled Snake Ring with Old Mine Cut Diamond Head & Ruby Eyes

A striking example of early 20th-century serpent jewelry, this antique coiled snake ring wraps dramatically around the finger in richly textured 14k yellow gold. The snake’s body is formed from substantial overlapping coils covered in intricate scale-like detailing, giving the piece wonderful dimension and an almost woven appearance. Dating to circa 1915, the bold sculptural design has a distinctly timeless quality that makes it equally compelling as an antique collectible or statement ring.

The snake’s head forms the focal point of the design, centered by an approximately 0.35 carat old mine cut natural diamond with VS clarity. Its antique faceting brings a softer, character-filled sparkle that beautifully complements the detailed goldwork surrounding it. Tiny ruby eyes add a flash of vivid red and bring the serpent motif to life, while the angular shaping of the head provides a strong contrast to the rounded, intricately textured coils.

Weighing an impressive 13.1 grams, this substantial antique ring has exceptional presence on the hand. Snake jewelry has remained an enduring motif for centuries, often associated with eternity and renewal, and the combination of a coiled form, old mine cut diamond, and ruby eyes makes this example especially distinctive. Its substantial proportions and sculptural styling give it a wonderfully unisex appeal for anyone drawn to unusual antique jewelry with symbolism and character.
