A N T I Q U E // a snake and her fungi / 14k JR Wood signet with nouveau mushrooms and a slithering snake / size 5.5

this ring is a portal to an era of whimsy, magic, and channeled imagery. it's an art nouveau era signet with almost-floral fungi and a slithering snake made by the esteemed JR Wood & Sons.

it's crafted in 14k yellow gold with a red stone (set in a white gold bezel setting) that has older cut facets, but is likely synthetic given how red its hue is. 

do you see how the snake's tail mingles with the fungi on the shoulder? pure magic. it's a wonder that the details on the shoulders are as crisp as they are after nearly of a century of wear.

solid 14k yellow gold
