Two serpents entwine, their bodies looping in quiet promise, an ancient symbol of eternity, devotion, and the bonds we choose. One holds a bright ruby like a spark of passion; the other, a diamond with a cool, steady gleam. Together they move in a graceful knot, their forms sculpted in gold that feels alive with movement and intent.
Handcrafted in about 1890, this ring is made in 14 karat gold and hallmarked 585. The ruby measures 3.7 × 3.7 × 2 mm or .20 carats while the diamond, nestled opposite, measures 3.7 × 3.7 × 2.5 mm or .25 carats. The face of the ring measures 12.5 mm north to south and 15.5 mm across, rising 3.3 mm off the finger, with a 4 mm band. It weighs 4.4 grams and fits a US size 7.
A talisman for lovers of symbolism and romance, it is ancient and modern, tender and bold. This serpent pair is ready to wind its story together with yours.
