- Guarantee
Antique ring with coiled snake motifs in 18kt yellow gold (eagle head punch) with finely engraved heads adorned with two sapphire cabochons, the total weight of which is estimated at about 1.60 Ct.
Victorian French work from the end of the 19th Century.
Gross weight: 4.50 g

This antique ring illustrating two snakes coiled on themselves is a rare and precious piece. The snake represents immortality. Like other animals, which go underground and come out (for example the beetle), snakes are symbols of rebirth. A ring in accordance with our values and our will to give a second life to old jewels.
Considered a sacred stone in Buddhism, the sapphire takes its name from the Hebrew sappir (the most beautiful thing). The most beautiful ones, of a deep royal blue, come from Sri Lanka.
It would bring peace of mind but also wisdom, harmony and fidelity. Rare stone (and the hardest after the diamond), it is very often used to decorate engagement rings.
