I’ve always had a fascination with jewelry in the shape of serpents.  I came across this C.Greene double snake coil ring ($5,000) and instantly fell in love.  The ring is not only a statement maker, but it’s a show stopper.  It looks as though the reptile is slithering up one’s finger, although clearly that’s not a reality, as diamonds are inset from head to tail.

C.Greene launched in 2006, handcrafted in 18k gold and precious and semi-precious stones.  The collection reflects the romantic Victorian era with its unique symbolism.

Celeb fans include Kate Hudson, Nicole Richie and Penelope Cruz. Let this be the next decadent yet fun piece you invest in.   After all, this serpent is certainly not scary!
