Nice snake rings! I got these earrings for Christmas, I love them. No good photo of me wearing atm so this is the one from the listing.
This is the existing snake thread
Any fans of snake/serpent jewelry?
Just received this little guy last week: It was represented as a Victorian stick pin conversion dating to the late 1800s with an Old Mine Cut diamond set in the head. I don't know how accurate this is, and would love to hear any thoughts on this. To me, the details on the snake head and the...www.pricescope.com
I love your antique ring, I’ve got a Victorian snake ring coming next week, will post a photo when it arrives.
Please do! So you mind sharing where your earrings came from? I can’t believe I haven’t seen them on my internet scours lol. Idk if my ring is antique or not. It says “Birks” on it and they were established in 1879 but still make jewelry I think.
@meely haha I commented on that thread last year yet do not remember it (insert face palm).
A while ago I made one for myself from sterling.
Here is the original thread, and a newer photo.
I reworked it recently and smoothed out a few areas.
My version of a snake ring
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.www.pricescope.com

Cool! Which stone and which designer? I thought of setting a marquis diamond in snake.
An eBay find, rose gold snake bracelet with rhodolite garnet and diamond head and tail. It's really cool. This is the glamour shot from the auction listing, I actually wear it with the snake head and tail pointing downward towards my fingers. It latches on the bottom, much like a belt would...there are three holes on the underside of the tail and the latch has a little head right in the middle that fits into those holes.

What’s even weirder - I didn’t buy the earrings right away. I mulled over my decision to get my ears pierced for about 6 months, before calling the jewellery store to see if they still had the earrings.Those are so cool and what an interesting story about your piercings!
they were surposed to be
you know not that 57 is in anyway old ( i had my 50th last year)
but i always pictured you as just a slip of a young thing
you must be young at heart and may we all grow old gracefully
Who is OMJ and what is the stone?
