A striking vintage snake ring made in Germany in the second half of the 20th century, dating to the 1980s. The ring is crafted in 18K gold and formed as a smoothly coiling serpent, its body elegantly modelled with a fluid, sculptural quality characteristic of late modernist jewellery design.The snake’s head is set with a bright white round-cut diamond, positioned centrally and often referred to as a “brain” diamond in snake jewellery, lending both sparkle and symbolic focus to the piece. The eyes are set with red gemstones; one a cabochon garnet and the other a round-cut spinel, an asymmetry that adds visual interest and depth to the expression of the serpent.The ring weighs 6.71 grams and is stamped 18K / 750, confirming the gold purity. The diamond measures approximately 3 mm in diameter, while the band tapers smoothly to around 4 mm at the back, ensuring comfortable wear despite the sculptural presence at the front. It is sized UK P 1/2, US 7.75.The ring is in good vintage condition, with only light signs of wear consistent with age. A bold and wearable example of late 20th-century serpent jewellery, combining classical symbolism with confident, modern execution.
