Double-Headed Snake (Amphisbaena) Solitaire

$1,970.00

One might think I would tire of carving snake rings, but I don’t think it is ever going to happen. This solitaire features a double-headed snake holding a stone in the between them. The body wraps once around the finger so that from the top, the ring appears as two, but underneath, the wrapped body crosses and the ring tapers down to an extremely comfortable width.

Please note this ring is priced as the mounting only WITHOUT a stone. I price it this way so you may select your perfect stone. I am happy to make this ring using a stone you already have (a family diamond, for instance) if the size is compatible, or I can help you find a stone of your choosing. Please fine more details below in the Customization Options.

What is included in the price

This listing is for the solitaire mounting ONLY. You get to select the stone that best fits your taste and budget. The stone size requirements are approximately 7.5mm diameter, or 1.5ct roughly (if diamond). The stone shown in this photo is a 1.55ct diamond. Please contact me to discuss options and get prices.

PRICE/HOW TO ORDER: Price is listed for 14K (white, yellow, or rose gold). 18K also available. Please note that prices fluctuate slightly based upon gold market rates. Please contact me for current price/quotes & I can get you set up with an invoice to order.

Customization options

  • Stone: You may choose the stone to match your taste and budget. The ring is made to accommodate approximately a 1 1/2-carat stone (~7.5mm in diameter). If you have a diamond already or a family stone you wish to use, this is absolutely fine; please contact me to double-check sizing and specifics, etc. Some adjustments are possible with regard to shape and size of stone.

    Some additional stone customization is possible, both with the central stone size/shape and by adding additional stones on the wrapped body. Contact me for details.

    All diamonds I purchase are Kimberly Process guaranteed (conflict-free certified) and come with a grading report from GIA). I can also get lab-grown diamonds (made in a fancy machine in a laboratory rather than dug out of the ground; these are identical in chemical composition and look to natural diamonds), which are ideal for those squeamish about destructive mining practices.

    Please contact me to discuss options. Stones I provide will be invoiced separately or as a custom listing for you here.

  • Finger size: Please let me know your size via email (cheyenneweil@gmail.com). I make these by hand, so between sizes, 1/4 sizes are all fine. Let me know any pertinent fit details in your email. This particular ring is somewhat limited in the breadth of sizes I can make work, so please contact me to check your size first.

  • Metal preference: 14K or 18K, white, yellow, or rose gold (rose gold available in 14K only), 14K or 18K palladium white gold (if nickel sensitive). Here is a description of all the metal options I work with. Don’t worry if you don’t see your metal priced out here in my listing; send me an email and I’ll get you a quote.

Dimensions

  • Width of ring at top: 12.5mm

  • Width of band at bottom: 5mm

    This ring is hand carved in wax by me in my Portland studio using pointy tools, and then cast using the lost-wax method. I do all finishing work, stone setting, and pearl mounting. Each ring is a highly detailed work of art with great attention to detail at every angle; this ring in particular has a delicious weighty feel.
