This is a design from my shop: Amphisbaena Solitaire. This is a double-headed snake which wraps around the finger holding a 7.5mm stone of your choice. Face up, this ring appears as two separate rings worn together, but on the inside of the hand, the snake bodies cross as they wrap around the finger, making for a more comfortable, narrower band underneath. Made to fit a stone around 1.5 carats (or 7.5mm diameter roughly), and can be made in the metal of your choice. Details and additional photos at the shop link.

The sample ring shown here is 14K yellow gold, and set with a 1.55ct G/VVS2 Ideal cut lab-grown diamond. It is a size 5.75-6. It is also for sale, already made and ready to ship immediately–email if interested or if any questions about this one or customized made to order versions.

This client was looking for a pendant carved with the Chinese zodiac signs for her children: years of the tiger and snake. It is set with an unheated zoisite and a purple spinel, 18K gold.

This snake was specifically intended to be modeled after a bush viper, which has extremely prominent spiky, ‘fluffy’ scales (the cuddly guy!). A little tricky at this scale, especially when you intend the ring to be comfortable to wear, but I modified the idea a little and am super happy with how this ring turned out.

We also went with a strong patina on the white gold. It is more of a deep metallic gray color rather than strong black like the way sterling silver oxidizes, but I think it had a very nice effect and contrast against the rainbow flashes of the moonstone.

This sweet little ouroboros ring was designed around a lovely antique champagne diamond that had a lot of character and sentimental value. 14K rose gold.

This is a new, larger iteration of a design I did a while back, but with a larger stone. The diamond here measures 1.65ct (~7.3mm) and I scaled up the snake to fit. I love this ring!

This is a wedding band carved with a little swoop to fit up against my snake solitaire. The accompanying band is a classic style with a little snake carved into the inside of the band. 18K and diamonds.

This amazing antique diamond needed a setting.. And since there can never be too many snake rings, it seemed like just the perfect thing. 1.95ct antique pear-cut diamond (with a crazy high-profile table & nice fat culet!) and 18K yellow gold. I LOVE how this guy turned out.
