A wonderful antique Georgian 18ct gold split ring, beautifully detailed and formed as a coiled snake, a powerful symbol of eternity and protection during the Georgian era. The fine workmanship captures the character of the snake, with a clearly defined head and tapering tail, all executed with remarkable delicacy.
The gold has aged gracefully, retaining a rich warmth that complements the intricate detailing. Offered in lovely condition, this evocative little piece carries a strong sense of history and makes a meaningful addition to any antique jewellery collection.
Dating to the Georgian period, it is a rare and charming survivor of early 19th-century craftsmanship.
