A serpent ring with a dolphin-y face, which was a *thing* in the mid 19th century, a serene mouth, and two tiny rose cut diamond eyes which make the whole thing come alive. The rose cut pear shaped diamond is so perfect that I suspect it has been re-polished or recut, but that's not a big deal. Those coils! "58" is engraved inside, most likely for 1858.
