Has anyone any idea where and when these snakering could be created and come from? The ring is gold coloured (yellow)but on the bottom o slight pink color. There are no hallmarks and there are 8 diamond pieces in a.o. as unsharpened eyes. I was told that it is a very old ring comes from Indonesia. Who can tell me something more about it or advise where I can go to ?

Agram.m, again you've posted another treasure. Love this piece, very nice.
The "snake" was used in the "Victorian" era as a symbol of every lasting love. I left a little out-take on these type of rings on Hunters posting, you might enjoy reading it.
