10k Gold Red Garnet Cabochon Signet Ring. Intertwined Snakes

For sale is a 10k yellow gold signet style ring with a cabochon red garnet and the intertwined winged snakes of the caduceus. The symbol is commonly found on jewelry from modern times, as the caduceus is the modern symbol of the medical profession. We have never seen the symbol on an antique before. In older times the symbol was associated with merchants, liars, thieves, alchemy, and wisdom, among other things...

This ring is beautifully crafted and spectacular. The ring is solid gold with the intertwined winged snakes running down both shoulders, narrowing toward the back. Secure in a hand-crafted  bezel frame is the Cabernet-red garnet oval cabochon backed in gold, glowing with translucence. The garnet appears dark in dim light but flashes with fire in the light. The stone shows wear (surface scuffs and scratches) consistent with its antique status. This ring truly feels like it was crafted for royalty. Can be worn beautifully by a man or woman. Wear it when you want to feel powerful!

The item shows normal wear for a pre-owned piece (light scratches, dings, dents and scuff marks.)   

Ring size: 5.25 (can be resized by your jeweler)
