Chic Estate 10K Gold SNAKE & RUBY Figural Ultra-Long Ring As I am always charmed by snake jewelry, I could not let this beauty slide away. This estate snake ring is 10K gold, 1 ½" long, with a radiant diamond-cut body and gemstones adorning her head. The size 6 ring has two large faceted ruby eyes—each over 3mm in diameter (no inclusions visible to the eye.) The crown of the snake’s head is a 9mm long faceted gem, most likely colorless quartz. The snake’s tail coils sinuously down your finger while the beguiling head angles upward.

The inside is stamped "10KA." Long a symbol of true love, this exotic snake elongates and slenderizes the finger in a most flattering manner. This fabulous estate ring has real presence and is in excellent condition.

This is a specially priced estate consignment item and does not qualify for further store discount, however, almost most store items do. New pieces arrive each day so please take time for a browse!

Carved & Signed IVORY Dragon Pendant, Ornate Silver Frame & Silk Box This vintage, Pre-Ban, carved ivory tablet is incised with a fierce dragon and painted or dyed in shades of gray with a red signature mon. The pendant is 1 ¾" high (not including bail) and 1 3/16" wide. The dragon’s head is upper right; his curly mane swirls around him like clouds. One taloned leg is to the left of the head and one is lower. From the dragon’s mouth pours a curl of fire and a river which falls into the lake below. The signature floats above the lake, lower right.

The intricate, hand-made silver mounting has a border of Etruscan style wire-work circles topped with small balls. The silver frame is stamped on the back with an Asian character; it tests as sterling purity. The pendant has an attached ring bail and I have added an old-stock 20" long sterling silver neck chain. A cord or ribbon in red is also a stunning option. Included is the original silk brocade covered box.

I invite you to examine the exquisite carving on the ivory: its detail is amazing and the condition is superb.
