The head is particularly well defined, with a softly modelled head, raised eye detail and an old mine cut diamond set prominently to the centre.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe diamond measures 2.9mm across and is estimated at 0.08ct. It has good colour and clarity for an antique stone, with no visible carbon inclusions, chips or cracks. Its old cut facets give it the softer, lively flash associated with hand-cut Victorian diamonds.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAt 10.15 grams, this is a notably heavy Victorian example with real presence on the hand. Snake jewellery was strongly associated with eternal love and devotion during the Victorian period, making this an especially characteristic design of the era. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPresented in very good antique condition with age-related wear consistent with its age. The old mine cut diamond remains securely set and shows good colour and clarity, with no visible carbon inclusions, chips or cracks.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEra:\u003cbr\u003e\nVictorian, 1898\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHallmarks:\u003cbr\u003e\nBirmingham assay office, 18ct gold with date letter 'y' for the year 1898.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\nRing size: UK V \/ US 10.5\u003cbr\u003e\nFront width: 16.5mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth at reverse: 10mm\u003cbr\u003e\nDiamond weight: 0.08ct\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight:\u003cbr\u003e\n10.15 grams","brand":"thenorthc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57485469417852,"sku":"CN1586","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/3423\/1615\/files\/cn1586-photo-1593-ad9099bc21bc.jpg?v=1790096036","url":"https:\/\/thenorthc.co.uk\/products\/antique-victorian-18ct-gold-diamond-snake-ring-1898-1015g-cn1586","provider":"TheNorthC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
