My year end bonus came late this year but was more than expected. Between that and selling some of the pieces I wasn’t wearing I’ve been on a bit of a shopping spree..
I think this will be the last buy though while I wait for my pad and tsav ring to get made.
The description for this ring really sold me on it. Unique indeed!
“An absolutely unique find, this expertly crafted serpent ring sparkles gorgeously with natural diamonds and a stunning pear cut tsavorite garnet. The tsavorite is brilliant and vibrantly saturated like the venomous green of a viper. It contrasts stunningly with the bright white sparkle of the high quality G-H VS accent diamonds. The eyes of the snake are set with exceptionally vibrant chartreuse diamonds, a small detail that truly brings the snake to life. The ring is made of elegantly crafted articulated links, giving the ring a satisfying slinky feel and the appearance of snake scales. Made of solid 14k gold with a rare, exceptionally dark black rhodium finish, the ring has a truly unique Gothic look. Sure to stand out in a crowd, this ring is an excellent way to show off your unique sense of style. The diamonds are all exceptionally clean, graded VS for clarity. It is difficult to find any inclusions in these diamonds even under 10x magnification. Graded G-H for color, they face up brilliantly white. With their bright white color and exceptionally vibrant sparkle, they stand out strikingly against the black rhodium and the green of the tsavorite. The diamonds and the tsavorite are all natural earth mined. The black rhodium finish is exceptionally dark. A deeper black than the average black rhodium finish, it provides a striking backdrop for the vibrant stones. We have listed separately a matching bracelet. If they are purchased as a set, we will offer them at additional value. If you are interested in purchasing the set, please inquire about availability and pricing. The ring measures 15.5mm across (north south) at its widest point and 6.6mm from finger to top. Rendered in affecting detail, this utterly unique ring is an incredible display of expert craftsmanship! Each link was individually assembled and required tremendous work to create. The original retail price was several times what we are asking here. Once it is sold we will not be able to replace it, so make it yours before it is snapped up!

I totally love it! I couldn't imagine that it would sit right on one's finger, but it looks great on your hand.

It’s funny. When I started into jewelery and PS I was really into the classic looks. Got a lot of solitaires, 3 stones, and halos.
As the years pass I find myself selling those in favor of quirkier designs!

It’s a cool riff on the Victorian snake ring (ok maybe the snake design goes way back, not too sure) but I wonder what happens if the black finish wears off. Is it easy to get it plated again?

Ivy and Rose say they can replate it if needed but that most jewelers probably won’t since black rhodium isn’t that common or popular.

Omg it’s here and I love him! Yes it’s a him. And he needs a name!
It’s late and dark here but I’m gonna try to take some indoor photos to share because the attention to detail is amazing. And the articulation is buttery smooth. Truly like no ring I’ve tried before. And I’ve had mesh rings and other articulate rings.

Also the attention to detail is amazing. There is multigrain UNDER the tsav which you can see in some of the photos.
