The Serpentes

14-carat gold ring set with a 12.25-carat heliodor (aquamarine variety). Size 57; the ring can be resized. The snake ornament measures approx. 27 × 23 mm.

Two snakes coil around each other and the green/light-blue gemstone, which shows natural colours and inclusions.

I sourced the stone on a study trip to Namibia, where it was both mined and cut.
