Contact me if this is returned
An unusual antique c1900 snake ring with the body of the snake wrapping around the finger and his head raised. A spherical ruby in his mouth, perhaps to represent the apple in the Book of Genesis. Diamond eyes. A pair of inscriptions inside with a series of numbers or dates, that may have been added a different times read "16 14 10 XII 68." Marked 14K, but tests slightly lower, and in a rosy colored alloy.
Currently a size 7 and could be resized in the 6 to 8 range for $75.
