ART NOUVEAU
Exotic Cockatrice Ring
Gold Synthetic Ruby
L 1.90cm (0.75 in)
Origin | French, c. 1900 |
Case | Ring Case |
A depiction of a pair of snakes fighting over a ruby 'egg'. Perhaps a visual pun on two admirers fighting over the same woman 'She's a ruby'. A very stylish design contemporary with, & with echoes of Laliques serpent pendant in the Hermitage. Unfortunately the maker's mark has been lost in sizing the ring in the past.
