Type of jewel: Vintage antique double headed diamond snake ring in 18K gold Condition: In well-preserved condition, especially given the jewel`s age. Style: Vintage antique Era: ca. 1900 Inspired by: Mother Nature Theme: Snakes and serpents are one of the oldest and most widespread mythological symbols and are a powerful religious symbol with many different meanings, like death and resurrection, while they have also been associated with healing and rivergods and also denote fertility, wisdom and the ability to cure. Material: 18K yellow gold (touchstone tested) Diamond(s): Two rose cut. - We understand that private buyers may expect diamond weights to be provided, but in the case of rose-cut or senaille diamonds, this is simply not standard practice among industry professionals specialising in antique and vintage jewellery. Unlike brilliant-cut diamonds, where weight correlates with diameter, rose cuts vary in thickness, making weight estimation impossible once set. Providing such figures could lead to unnecessary debates, as rose-cut diamonds were traditionally valued for their visual effect rather than intrinsic worth. Even major auction houses like Sotheby’s and Christie’s rarely list their weight, except for exceptionally large stones, where diameter is often provided instead. - All diamonds, regardless of their size or shape, in our vintage and antique jewellery are verified as 100% natural by the IJGC laboratory. Birth and month stones: Diamond is the birthstone (or month stone) for April. Hallmarks: No trace. Dimensions: band width top of ring 2,05 cm (0,81 inch) - See picture with a ruler in cm and inches Weight: 3,30 gram (2,12 dwt) Ring size: EU-56 & 17¾, USA-7½, UK-O½ Ring sizes are professionally measured and rounded to the nearest millimetre; slight variations are standard and do not affect wear.
