From the ancient ouroboros rings (snakes eating their own tail as a symbol of eternal life) to the cobra figure of Uraeus who was the symbol of sovereignty, the snake figure has been long associated with Egyptian culture.

This amazing rosey gold ring featuring rubies and glass is an Egyptian made 18ct gold beauty that hugs the finger as the snakes intertwine. The stones test as glass, with one of the eyes testing as rubies. Given the cast design and the stone choice, we would assume it is 1970-2002 made. 

This stunning piece has sat in my PC for the last two years - just too small - and with the promise to myself I will lose the baby weight, it is just too tight to be comfy. So it is up for grabs - otherwise if I lose the weight first - it will be withdrawn!

FAQ

Sizing

What do we mean when we say a ring is "sizeable"? Well, most standard rings can be made bigger or smaller by up to three letter sizes. If we say the item is "moderately sizeable", this usually means about 1 size, and if we say it is "not sizeable" or that "sizing is not recommended" it will be due to the construction - it could be age related, pattern related, have enamel etc.

We can happily help with sizing of rings, so please do get it touch if we can give you a quote.
