18K snake ring with diamond

Snake ring #2: Coiled snake wedding band with 2mm diamond in 18K brushed gold. I burnished the ridge of the snake’s body mirror bright, which stands out nicely against the matte finish. I did a bit of research into the structure of snake heads for this one. Did you know that each scale on a snake’s head has a name and is more or less consistent throughout all the species? Science, man.

It pairs nicely with a solitaire, of course, as many things are improved by the addition of a large diamond. The little dip in the snake band snugs in well with the low-profile solitaire.

More pics of course!

I know that technically, the wedding band goes on first and then the solitaire, but most of the time I think the solitaire looks better first. I usually wear mine backwards like this. Bad jeweler!

    This is utterly breath taking!!! It actually looks like a tiny gold snake curled up on your finger (then was turned to gold by a hex of some sort!).

    In many places in Europe, the engagement ring is worn first. I prefer that look, as well. 🙂
