A serpent ring wraps the finger in one or more coils, and at Luma the range runs from £645 to £1,555. We make every one to order in Hatton Garden, set with lab grown diamonds, in yellow, white or rose gold. The price follows the style rather than the colour of gold you pick, which keeps the comparison simple. This guide sets out what each style costs, how to choose between them and what to check before you order.
What a serpent ring costs at Luma
The serpent ring collection prices by design. A single open coil sits at the bottom of the range, and the price climbs as the ring adds coils, pavé and stones.
- £645: the Serica, an open coil pavé ring with a pear cut diamond, designed to stack.
- £905: the Cyra, a curved teardrop serpent with a single pear cut diamond.
- £1,035: the Ivara, an open ring with baguette diamonds, and the Mireille, a double serpent with a pavé band.
- £1,165: the Salma, a triple serpent.
- £1,295: the Virelle, a wrapped pavé band set with a round diamond.
- £1,425: the Nerida, Nyra and Lira, the sculptural statement pieces in the collection.
- £1,555: the Avara, a coiled spiral and the most expensive serpent ring we make.
Those are the current prices at the time of writing. Every ring is made to order, so the price you see on the product page is the price you pay for the finished piece.
One coil or several
A single coil reads quietly. It sits close to the finger, pairs easily with a plain band and suits someone who wants the snake as a detail rather than the headline.
Two or three coils change the whole feel. The ring covers more of the finger, catches more light and starts to look like a sculpture. The Mireille and Salma are the clearest examples, and they cost £390 and £520 more than the Serica because they carry more metal and more stones.
Choosing the stone and the setting
Most of our serpent rings carry a pear cut diamond, which echoes the shape of a snake's head and gives the ring a clear direction. The Virelle takes a different route, with a round diamond and a pavé wrap that makes the whole band sparkle. If you want the ring to look finished on its own, choose a pavé band. If you plan to wear it with other rings, an open coil like the Serica leaves room to stack.
The diamonds are lab grown, which means they are real diamonds with the same chemistry and hardness as mined ones. That is why a serpent ring with a diamond at this level costs £645 at the bottom of the range rather than several times that.
Yellow, white or rose gold
Yellow gold gives a serpent ring its most traditional look and suits the coiled, ancient feel of the design. White gold is cooler and lets the diamonds lead. Rose gold sits between the two and softens the metal against the skin. Because the price stays the same across all three, you can choose purely on how the ring looks against your skin tone and the jewellery you already wear.
Sizing and what to check before you order
Serpent rings wrap and overlap, so a coiled design can feel snugger than a plain band of the same size. Check the sizes listed on each product page, and if you are between sizes or unsure of your own, raise it before you order. A ring that spins or pinches will not get worn, however good it looks.
It also helps to think about the symbolism before you buy. The snake stands for protection, renewal and eternity in several traditions, and our guide to the meaning of serpent rings covers the history if you are choosing one as a gift.
