The serpent, a powerful recurring theme in the story of jewellery, was used to dramatic effect by Peter Carl Fabergé. Here, an exotic serpent harks back to the Russian fairytale of a girl who marries a water snake capable of changing into human form. This narrative, sculptural ring, with a dynamic sense of movement, is modelled in yellow and white gold and silver, its sinuous shape accentuated with blue sapphires and highlighted with opals.

This piece is set in 18 carat yellow and white gold and silver and features blue sapphires and opals.
