Cleopatra kept an asp close at hand; this one is considerably better behaved. An 18k yellow gold serpent coils three times around the finger, its hooded head raised and finely chased with scales, its tail curling at the base, and its eyes set with two tiny red rubies.
Shakespeare gave the Egyptian queen "the pretty worm of Nilus" for her final scene; snake jewelry has been flirting with that story ever since. The coil is adjustable.
