So I've been looking at Victorian snake rings online.
Gosh, they are just so overpriced.
So I decided as an experiment, to create one of my own from sterling.
I had this little diamond just lying around, so I set him into the snake's head.

@stracci2000, do you sell any of the jewelry you make? I can totally see this being sold in a handmade jewelry shop. I love that you added the little diamond.

I used to do jewelry shows, but they are a lot of work. Anymore I just make pieces for myself.
It's getting really hard for me to see, and tiny work is becoming difficult. I need reader glasses for everything I do these days!:eek2:

I cant believe you made that! I would never attempt (because it would never have turned out that nice).

So cool that you can make jewelry! Love your snake ring!

Totally love your snake ring @stracci2000. You really got that Victorian vibe right. So cool that you have the skills to do such amazing things with your own hands!

I researched Victorian snake rings, and looked at lots of photos. I was just messing around, and didn't expect it to turn out OK. I was fully expecting to have to dig out that diamond and try again!
I may try another one with a colored stone.

Another thing that we have in common: I just adore snake rings.
I've been on the hunt for the perfect one for a few years!
Of course the perfect gold one and a perfect silver one (;

I seriously would purchase your rings if you do ever decide to sell them!

Lovely!
