Ileana Makri - Cobra 18-Karat Gold Diamond Ring - 8

Serpentine symbols are a staple in Ileana Makri's collections – the designer is fascinated by their "refined, sensual" shape and the "change and rebirth" they represent. This 'Cobra' ring is handcrafted from 18-karat gold that coils around the finger and is illuminated by a trio of diamonds.
