The longest seems to be FLORIDA and then the West Coast/Hawaii/Alaska are slightly quicker. IF YOU NEED IT SOONER buy Priority which only takes 2-4 days for most everywhere. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WONDERFULLY EYECATCHING HISTORY! *THIS IS SOMETHING TIMELESSLY BEAUTIFULLY & PERFECT!!!* This Naturalistic beauty is just as nice as 140ish years ago when it was made during the Athestic period of the 1870s to the late 1880s! It looks like something you'd find in a museum! This has a "PRESENCE"! Ring is a perfect size for many a lady ~An ELEGANTLY CAPTIVATING ASTHETIC piece of adornment history that is becoming INCREDIBLY SCARCE to find nowadays! The SLEEK, WARMLY RADIANT 18K Antique yellow gold snake, with its lightly textured head & securely set real ruby eyes, is tightly coiled around the finger in the position its seen~~ it would take a jeweller to change it- this is not thin enough to be moved easily. And yes, the tail was made that way- I can see why- it looks like when a snake is using its tail to propel itself! The width of the widest part of the front is 7/16", with the back being 3.5/16" wide. You can be certain this was NOT a dimestore ring when purchased. Generally pieces before 1906 that actually were marked with the gold content WERE from fine jewellers. It is a very wearable US size 7 (which is a UK size "O")!! It is ever so slightly oval, but fits so nicely! This Clearly marked for 18K gold, as its actually marked K18. The family came from Australia to California in 1905, and history had this was something that came with them. Wish I knew more, but that's all they themselves knew. It was also tested and GUARANTEED SOLID 18KT K18 warm yellow gold. It is **VERY** SOLIDLY CRAFTED won't bend ding or dent without a SERIOUS bit of effort. It weighs 2.9grams, although you'll agree in hand it feels much heavier. I tried to take a myriad of photos so you can see all angles. It REALLY IS *MUCH* crisper and enticing than my pics looks-FAR FAR BETTER THAN THE PICTURES show, ~There's NO RISK HERE!! This is ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY BEAUTIFUL having not been appreciated very much & --NO worries!!-- It will come in a securely solid, QUALITY GIFTABLE ring box for protection. This would be FABULOUS to gift-GUARANTEED! A FANTASTIC BARGAIN in a SOLID gold, & HISTORIC beauty!
