So hard to find an interesting snake ring nowadays - but here one is!
 
This little man is made from 18 carat gold, so is nice and heavy.
He coils around in a little knot and has a pear shaped turquoise glass stone (5mm) in his head and tiny garnet eyes.
 
The gold is chased all over with a pretty foliate pattern.
